This youthled Erasmus+ Youth Participa project, "Developing Youth Voices Against Racism and Discrimination," objectives were: ●To raise awareness and challenge the public's anti-immigrant attitudes. ●To foster a sense of youth active citizenship based on EU values by empowering them to connect with the local TDs, decision-makers, youth workers and international NGOs/charities for a more inclusive society. ●To bring more youths across Ireland, including those of migrant backgrounds, to the Erasmus+ youth participation field and give them a voice. We are happy that this project sought to contribute to the YouthPass competencies, Erasmus+ 2021-2027 Diversity and Inclusion's priority. It also aligned with national and EU policies such as: ♦Roadmap for Social Inclusion 2020-2025 ♦EU Anti-Racism Action Plan 2020–2025 ♦EU Youth Strategies 2019-2027 principle to connect, engage, and empower the youth. ♦EU Youth Goals and United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 2030 ♦The National Strategy on Children and Young People's Participation in Decision-making 2015–2020, ♦EU Active Citizenship and democratic values in youth life principles. ♦Erasmus+2023 Programme Guide on quality of learning using non-formal education methodologies using a youth-led and youth-centred approach to meet the Erasmus+ Youth Quality Standards. This project idea reviewed past Léargas' recommendations learned at the Erasmus+ Clinic "Be the Spark" at the TempleBar Galeries Studio, Dublin. This project is an initiative of 23 young people with fewer opportunities, including Irish born of migrant parent backgrounds, youths of migrant backgrounds, youths with no houses due to the current housing crisis, youths of refugees and asylum seekers backgrounds aged 14–17 living in isolated rural direct provision centres, or disadvantaged rural communities in Co. Cork, Co. Dublin, Co. Mayo, and Co. Kildare. All young people involved in this project idea are members of this youth club and are living across many counties in Ireland. The needs of this project were identified through a Youth Club Erasmus+ Youth Participation Clinic, which was held from November 23 to December 22, 2023. The need for this project arose from the fear this youth group felt during the Dublin riots with angry anti-migrant protesters on November 23, 2023, which had 11 Garda vehicles damaged, the Holiday Hotel Express Dublin on Fire where asylum seekers were supposed to be, a Luas burnt to ashes, 4 buses vandalised, and 13 shops looted, as reported by RTE News and EuroNews 2023, and the rise of anti-migrant sentiments in Ireland and across Europe. In Galway on 13 December 2023, their was an arson of a hotel where asylum seekers were supposed to be. The youth understand that there are housing shortages, a rise in homelessness, and the current inflation is fueling anger across Ireland and Europe. One youth said, "I am 15 and were born in Ireland; I am Irish; such riots make me feel like an easy target." Another said I am an asylum seeker. "Since those events, I have a nightmare of feeling our accommodation centre will be burned," a boy from Dublin said. "I am 17 and homeless; my parents are afraid for my safety. Not feeling loved cannot make me feel included. If people are angry, would I get attacked just because I am from Ireland?" another youth said Ireland is a welcoming country & culturally diverse, but Today in Tik Tok there is a rise of anti-migrant or racist comments. This needs to be challenged because this goes against EU value and Article 21 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights: 1. Any discrimination based on any ground such as sex, race, colour, ethnic or social origin, genetic features, language, religion or belief, political or any other opinion, membership of a national minority, property, birth, disability, age or sexual orientation shall be prohibited. One youth said, "These public antiimmigrant attitudes are linked to the perception that immigrants pose an economic and cultural threat and to the spread of culturalized forms of citizenship. This view needs to be challenged as it does not link with the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights." Based on our questionnaires on all youths of migrant backgrounds members of our youth club, 99% of them reported that they experienced different forms of racism, attacks and discrimination online/offline based on their parental migration background, race, and residential status in the state. This number is alarming, and the sad reality is that most times, these youths do not report it. Often, these experiences hinder their ability to feel included and to participate in the decision-making of their community. As young people, we were happy to see the Irish government condemning these acts. Now, as young people, we needed this project to raise awareness and have an anti-racism conference where diverse national 120 participants were invited.
