The main goal of the “Europe’s Lens” project was to empower youth workers to address discrimination and social inequalities through creative and non-formal educational approaches, especially by using film and visual storytelling as tools for awareness-raising and social change. We wanted to create a space where youth workers from different European countries could come together, exchange experiences, and strengthen their competences in promoting inclusion, tolerance, empathy, and human rights in their local communities. The project was designed as a response to the growing need for more innovative and engaging youth work methods capable of addressing sensitive social topics in a meaningful and accessible way. One of the core objectives of the project was to deepen participants’ understanding of discrimination in its different forms, including discrimination based on race, gender, sexuality, socio-economic background, and ability. Through discussions, workshops, and experiential learning activities, we wanted participants to critically reflect on stereotypes, prejudice, and inequality both within their own societies and in a broader European context. At the same time, we aimed to strengthen their ability to recognize discriminatory behaviors and respond to them more effectively in their everyday youth work practice. Another important objective was to equip youth workers with practical filmmaking and storytelling skills that could later be used as educational and advocacy tools. We believed that cinema and visual media have a strong potential to inspire dialogue, foster empathy, and amplify the voices of marginalized groups. Through practical workshops on filmmaking, scriptwriting, directing, and editing, participants were expected to develop creative competences that would allow them to create meaningful visual content focused on inclusion and social justice. One of the planned outcomes was the collaborative creation of short films addressing discrimination and challenging stereotypes. The main objectives that we set for this project were: 1. Over the 12 months, 25 youth workers will deepen their understanding of various forms of discrimination, including race, gender, sexuality, ability, and socio-economic status. 2. All 25 participants will develop filmmaking and storytelling skills as tools to challenge stereotypes, resulting in the creation of at least 5 short films highlighting these issues. 3. By the end of the project, participants will engage in cross-cultural exchanges with peers from 5 countries, improving their ability to address different perspectives on discrimination. 4. Youth workers will actively participate in non-formal education activities such as workshops, role-playing, and discussions to explore discrimination, encouraging experiential learning and peer education. The project also aimed to promote the use of non-formal education methods in youth work. We wanted participants to experience and explore interactive learning approaches such as role-plays, simulations, teamwork, reflection groups, and peer-learning activities, which could later be transferred into their local work with young people. By combining creativity, experiential learning, and intercultural dialogue, we aimed to encourage youth workers to adopt more participatory and inclusive educational methods in their organizations and communities. An equally important objective was to foster intercultural exchange and mutual understanding among participants from Poland, Italy, Estonia, Portugal, and Cyprus. By working together in an international environment, participants had the opportunity to share different perspectives, compare realities in their countries, and learn from each other’s experiences regarding discrimination and inclusion. This intercultural dimension was essential in promoting European values, solidarity, empathy, and cooperation among youth workers from diverse backgrounds. We wanted to empower participants to become active multipliers and advocates for social change within their own communities. Beyond gaining new knowledge and technical skills, the project aimed to increase participants’ confidence, leadership abilities, and motivation to take an active role in promoting equality, diversity, and inclusion. We hoped that after the mobility, participants would continue using the methods, tools, and films developed during the project in their local youth work activities, workshops, and awareness campaigns, thereby extending the impact of the project far beyond the duration of the training course itself.
