Project Background and Summary
In the current immigration crisis, we are facing problems from intercultural relations, clash of cultures – a new wave of xenophobia, racism and social fears within the in EU. is is a new problem that arises from strong social fears and stereotypes that need to be combated. We are witnessing events of violence involving migrants and refugees that can evolve into more dangerous phenomenon. Moreover, radicalization and extremism are another side of the situation which are a ecting the young people and local society. Young people who are subject to discrimination and racism in daily life can easily fall out of society and be an easy target for radicalization. In order to face these problems, we will provide international seminar event for youth workers, volunteers and youth leaders from the partner countries. and program countries. e youth workers have to be better
prepared to address European youths, to combat social fears, face problems related to xenophobia, racism and stereotypes among youth learners.
We introduced new methods e icient in learning interculturality, focusing on youth work values and combating against racism and radicalization. Moreover, experienced trainers from each partner organization shared their skills in the field of interculturality, combating against racism and radicalization with all other participants. We also worked on a common final publication as containing the combined training methods for orga- nisations.
Our objectives were to:
-Support professional development of youth workers, trainers to cope better with intercultural problems, racism, xenophobia, social fears of youth learners, particularly ba- sed on the recent immigration crisis and refugees in EU through sharing experience during seminar.
-Raise youth workers’ awareness, responsiveness and understanding of other cultures and countries (so they can better transfer that to the youths),
-Tackling of radicalization through education and youth in action.
-İncrease the capacities, attractiveness and international dimension of participating orga- nizations and youth workers through the toolkit so that they are able to o er activities and programs that better respond to the current needs of the youths;
-Continue cooperation and strengthen the relationship between youth leader and their organizations.
