We decided to organise this training course because we could clearly see that many youth workers are facing increasingly complex situations related to racism, discrimination, prejudice and social exclusion. Every partner organisation works with young people from different cultural, ethnic and social backgrounds, including migrants, refugees, young people with fewer opportunities and those who often feel excluded from society. Although youth workers are highly motivated to support them, many told us that they lacked practical tools, confidence and professional training to deal with these situations in an effective and constructive way. To respond to these needs, we brought together 30 youth workers from the Netherlands, Sweden, Romania, Spain, Greece and Slovakia for a seven-day international training course in the Netherlands. We wanted to create much more than a series of workshops. Our intention was to create a learning environment where participants could openly discuss difficult topics, question their own assumptions, learn from each other's experiences and build lasting professional relationships with colleagues from other European countries. From the beginning, we wanted the programme to be highly practical. Rather than focusing on theoretical presentations, participants worked with real situations from their daily youth work, analysed case studies, took part in simulations, role plays, group discussions and reflection sessions. Every activity was designed to help participants develop practical competences that they could immediately apply after returning home. A key part of the training was introducing Nonviolent Communication (NVC) as a practical approach for preventing conflicts, addressing discrimination and creating respectful dialogue. Participants explored how communication influences relationships, how stereotypes develop, how empathy can reduce tensions and how difficult conversations can become opportunities for learning instead of conflict. We wanted them to leave the project feeling more confident when facilitating multicultural groups and responding to situations involving discrimination or exclusion. The international dimension of the project was equally important. Each participating organisation works in a different local context and faces different challenges. Bringing these organisations together allowed participants to exchange methods, compare realities, learn from successful practices and discover new approaches that could be adapted to their own communities. At the same time, the organisations strengthened their partnerships and created a stronger basis for future cooperation within the Erasmus+ Programme. We also wanted the learning process to continue after the mobility. During the training, participants jointly developed **"Building Inclusive Communities: A Practical Guide for Youth Workers to Prevent Racism and Discrimination"**, a practical resource containing methods, exercises and recommendations that can be used by youth workers across Europe. Each participant also prepared a personal action plan and committed to sharing the knowledge gained during the project through local dissemination activities, workshops and presentations within their organisations and communities. The objectives of the project were to: * strengthen the competences of youth workers to recognise, prevent and respond to racism and discrimination in their daily work; * improve practical skills in inclusion, intercultural dialogue, equality, diversity and human rights education; * introduce Nonviolent Communication, empathy-based communication and other non-formal education methods that support inclusive youth work; * improve the quality of youth work by exchanging good practices and developing innovative educational approaches; * strengthen cooperation and networking between the six participating organisations; * increase awareness of Erasmus+ opportunities and encourage youth workers to involve more young people, especially those with fewer opportunities, in international mobility projects; * create practical educational resources that remain available after the project and continue supporting youth workers in their everyday practice. We expected participants to return home not only with new knowledge, but with the confidence to use it. By applying the methods they experienced during the training, supporting their colleagues, organising local follow-up activities and using the guide they created together, they would be able to extend the project's impact far beyond the original group of participants and contribute to more inclusive youth work in their local communities.
