Multiculturalism in the Erasmus+ framework (MEF) was a training course that was realized in Nijmegen, Netherlands, between 9 and 17 October 2023. The aim of the training course was to gather together 28 youth workers from 6 European nations who were active in their respective local youth sector organizations and actively fostering cross-cultural awareness and diversity as founding pillars of a world of peace in our modern, multicultural societies in the EU. The project Multiculturalism in the Erasmus+ framework focused on promoting multi-cultural education alongside peacebuilding and tolerance, exchanging good practice in peer-to-peer, peaceful, and non-violent social action in an effort to improve the work with young people. Project participants worked daily with vulnerable and socially marginalized multi-ethnic youth groups in their communities. Throughout the entire project, a group of 28 participants met to discuss good practices of non-violent social action in their communities to improve awareness, skills, and competencies on the subject of gender, multiculturalism, and other related issues. Furthermore, by meeting with peacebuilding practitioners and developing roadmaps for follow-up initiatives, they increased the real qualitative impact of the MEF project. As an integral component of the project, there was the possibility for participants to experience non-formal education, as well as to determine the gender perspectives. Throughout the project, experiential learning was the primary applied approach. Over the course of the Multiculturalism in the Erasmus+ framework, participants followed a loop of experiential learning: concrete experience - reflective observation - abstract conceptualization - active experimentation, aiming to practice the process of dealing directly with multinational peer groups. It also aimed to build a powerful multiplier effect, since the participants were those who worked with young people and vulnerable groups and could apply the competencies acquired in the project to their everyday work. Practical and theory-based insights into the subjects, via workshops, creative plenary sessions, and tutorials, were communicated and discussed in detail with the assistance of the trainers and invited experts. Moreover, throughout the TC there was a contribution and exchange of experience from the participants. There were informal education tools such as meta-plans, discussions, peer learning, mind map, participant presentations, open sessions, seminars, workshops brainstorming, role-plays, exercises, and simulations. The training course encompassed the following subjects: Youth Work, Inclusion, Tolerance, Human Rights, Community Engagement, Cultural Dialogue, Peacebuilding, and Multiculturalism. By bringing together youth workers from different states in a program of activities and committing portions of this program to the elaboration of upcoming Erasmus+ initiatives, the project fostered cross-EU understanding among young people. As a result, further projects developed the capacity of youth work funding schemes. Improved collaboration between promoter partners on these matters enhanced the capacity of CSOs within the youth sector. The main objectives of this project were to: - Raise awareness of inter-cultural communication topics; - Share skills and expertise in negotiating in diverse cultural contexts, whether locally or at the European stage; - Explore efficient solutions to resolving disputes in the area of inter-cultural isolation and empower the participants to take appropriate responses; - Promote the meaningful involvement of young people in the life of civil societies; - Develop a consciousness towards efficient discourse and multi-culturalism; - Familiarize participants with the principles of peacebuilding and the significance of non-violent resistance to conflicts; - Develop favorable perceptions of non-formal learning among participants, empowering them with skills in event preparation, peacebuilding activities, etc; - Create new learning-by-doing instruments in the course of Multiculturalism in the Erasmus+ framework; - Share good practices and learnings in the area of non-violent action. The Multiculturalism in the Erasmus+ framework project directly tackled the following Erasmus+ program priorities within the youth field: - Competence building for youth workers; - Stimulating improvements in the quality of youth work; - Complementing the international aspects of youth work.
