A well-known fact is that European Union is based on a set of common fundamental values, which include respect for human dignity and human rights of people belonging to minorities, freedom and equality. However, we observe the expansion of radicalisation and extreme views taking place in different parts of Europe as well as in the world, more and more people being targeted by racism, xenophobia and other forms of intolerance just because of their race, national, ethnic origin, sexual orientation. The problem of racism, extremism, xenophobia are among top in the European community, and Germany, Poland, Bulgaria, Latvia, Ukraine, Georgia, Cyprus and Jordan are no exception. Especially young people are exposed to these trends, on the one hand because they are in the process of shaping their personalities and opinions and thus more susceptible to be involved in such radical and xenophobic activities, and on the other hand as they have easier access to the Internet and social media where they can find radical and xenophobic profiles of individuals or parties, as well as movies and articles exhorted to hate, discriminate or even harm the others. It is very common that radical or extremist movements reach young people through Internet or media that is why they are particularly at risk. Participants from Germany, Ukraine, Poland and Georgia supported by partners initiated the project, which consisted of three youth exchanges „STAY Alert Europe: Sensitive, Tolerant Aware Youth” focusing on equality, xenophobia, extremism, radicalisation as they believed that it is of great importance to raise awareness out about these issues especially among young people and promote such values as openness, diversity, solidarity, anti-discrimination, non-violent behaviour. The project was realised by 8 organisations: PEWOBE GEMEINNUTZIGE SOZIALE BETREUUNGSGESELLSCHAFT MBH FRANKFURT/ODER (Germany), Marcela Jasinska (Poland), Center for Euroinitiatives (Ukraine), TI MOZHESH LI (Bulgaria), AL-EMAD ALKABEER FOR TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT CO. (Jordan), STUDENT-YOUTH COUNCIL (Georgia), Kulturas biedriba "Alternativa Realitate" (Latvia) and Youth Dynamics (Cyprus) from 15 January 2023 till 14 November 2024. Major aims of project were: - build awareness among young people - participants of the project - about current human rights situation and socio-political tendencies in European countries, - sensitize participants about needs, challenges and daily life of the most vulnerable groups-migrants and refugees/people seeking asylum and show, promote and introduce richness of multicultural, open and democratic society, - decrease radical and xenophobic perspectives and extremism movements among young people so that they will become more tolerant, sensitive and open for different cultures, habits, and nationalities - sensibilise local communities in Poland, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Latvia, Jordan, Cyprus, Germany and Georgia about alarming phenomenon: extremism, xenophobia and radicalisation through activities and events organised by participants (participants took a role of "ambassadors" promoting tolerant, sensitive and diverse Europe). Specific aims of project were: - Increase civic, social, interpersonal, language skills of participants, - teach participants how to prepare scenario and plan for workshops and events promoting openness, anti-discrimination, diversity, - create short movie in English showing perspective of participants on extremism and xenophobia, - establish cooperation between participants, which would result in future common projects focused on anti-discrimination, tolerance and solidarity. “STAY Alert Europe: Sensitive, Tolerant, Aware Youth” was a three-stage international youth exchange project with the focus of 40 young people aged 17 – 26 from 8 countries (Germany, Poland, Bulgaria, Latvia, Ukraine, Georgia, Cyprus and Jordan) who met to be empowered to struggle against radicalization and violent extremism, understand and respect human rights. To reach our major and specific aims, we chose those countries due to presence of xenophobia and extremism, which increased in the above mentioned countries in last years and our up to now successful collaboration with partners. Youth engagement activities formed a cornerstone as youth could engage their peers on partaking advantage their own life stories. The overall aim and objectives of the project were to create a space for building awareness of young people about the concepts of violent radicalization and extremism, processes and risks leading to violent radicalization and extremism and empowering youth in countering violent radicalization and extremism on the individual, peer and community levels with the special focus to refugee and migrant communities through non-violent activities and actions.
