Against Discrimination – A Tool Box
Start date: Dec 1, 2012,
The training course “Against Discrimination – A Tool Box” aims to provide youth leaders and educators with new ideas for workshops and training sessions in their work with marginalized young people facing discrimination in their community.Nowadays discrimination takes many forms in modern Europe. People are discriminated for their skin colour, their religion, their gender, origin, sexual orientation and the school they visited and the district they live in. Discrimination often translates into fewer chances for personal development, weakened self-confidence and as a consequence into limited opportunities for employment. For these reasons many civil society organizations work in the field of anti-discrimination by fostering tolerance and aiming to empower young people to overcome the societal stereotypes that hamper the personal freedom and right for self-development.Along this line, the training course intends to share methods of anti-discrimination work with its participants in order to strengthen their daily work with young people. Workshops, simulation exercises, role plays and debates will be exercised with the participants to give them a learning experience and to explain them their strength and weaknesses. The participants will receive time to design own exercises based on the made experiences can be applied within their programme activities on local level or in international encounters.Youth Cooperation Center of Dilijan cooperates in the frame of this project with partners from Georgia, Ukraine, Moldova, Germany, Ukraine, Italy, Spain, Norway and Switzerland. All in all 27 participants will be hosted in Armenia from the 20th to 28th of April 2013.
