We want to implement the “Equality and toler(d)ance” project because in our everyday youth work practice we observe increasing social tensions, a rise in hate speech, and growing difficulties in building relationships within diverse groups. Many young people live in environments where contact with other cultures, views, or lifestyles is limited, and stereotypes often replace real knowledge and understanding. As a result, young people may respond with fear, withdrawal, sarcasm, or aggression—especially in situations of conflict, misunderstanding, and peer pressure. At the same time, we see a strong need for a safe space where young people can learn dialogue, cooperation, and acceptance without judgment, while also strengthening their sense of agency and self-confidence. The project addresses these needs through an international youth exchange based on non-formal education and experiential learning. Dance is used as a practical tool: it helps break language barriers, release tension, express emotions, and build trust within the group. Through shared workshops, reflection sessions, and teamwork in international groups, participants learn to recognize the mechanisms behind stereotypes and exclusion, respond constructively in conflict situations, and co-create an environment where everyone feels respected and safe. The main goal of the project is to strengthen attitudes of equality and tolerance and to develop key competences needed in real social life: intercultural communication, cooperation, conflict management, and responsibility for the group. Another important outcome is the follow-up work after the exchange—participants will act as multipliers, sharing the methods and values they gained through workshops in schools and local communities. The project is therefore practical and long-term: it does not only teach, but also empowers young people to act, increasing their agency and resilience against hate speech and social divisions.
