European citizenship seeks inclusion and equal opportunities,especially when informing people at grassroots level.This can give space to youth participation. In a society where minorities face poverty and marginalization,it becomes crucial to deliver messages that are clear and easy to be understood.
The main theme of the training is diversity and intercultural dialogue. Combined with mass communication and access to information in a multicultural society, we can provide e key for active participation of youngsters from marginalised groups, in a diverse society.
Aim of the training is to help young leaders to understand diversity as a key to positive change of the society and prepared them to successful work and effective communication in multicultural teams. Program is designed by using T-Kit(s), COMPASS manual, our own tools and tools from different international trainings and our experience in the field. All activities are based on non-formal education and experiential learning.
