Activists against Xenocide invites 19 professionals of non- formal education and 30 young people between 16 and 19 years old from DK, DE, EE, GR, GB and PL to a training and youth exchange to learn about the reasons, conditions and consequences of migration and fleeing today and in the past. Participants are encouraged to take part in an intercultural exchange and discuss during workshops, seminars and film-photo training political and historical experiences as well as knowledge of migration. Individual stories of people are in the center of attention. Furthermore, professionals demonstrate media skills which lead to higher qualification and enable young people to work in this area and prepare them for the upcoming youth exchange in their local communities. Through the project participants address questions such as how can we humanly deal with the refugee situation, what do refugees actualy experience, including the situation of the participant’s home countries (solidarity and discrimination) and how they can actively act and advocate for people in need. Based on the impact on Europe's societies we will closely examine, the process of European integration and the way of dealing with today’s migration and refugee situation in Europe. Apart from dominating narratives about refugees and migration today and in the past, that exist in the general European public, participants deal with personal stories of people who have undergone that fate and share their individual experiences. During a methodological workshop (film and photography) youth workers will be enabled to work on this topic with young people in their local communities. They deal with the current need for standing up against violation of human rights and become active. With the help of film and photography, participants analyze the situation of migrants in their local community. During the youth exchange, the collected material will be analyzed, edited and prepared for a public presentation, to be held at the end of the meeting in the Capital of Culture 2016, Wrocław. Thinking of a group structure we will take into account cultural and social diversity, in order to have a realistic image of European societies and to ensure the multi-perspective approach to the subject of fleeing and migration.
