The general idea of the Youth Exchange “Different - Tolerant - United” is to give the opportunity to young people from 6 European countries (Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Latvia, Moldova, Romania, Ukraine) to meet and discuss different aspects of conflict resolution and prevention, to develop a sense of tolerance and understanding of diversity and encourage a pro-active attitude and active participation of youth in the conflict prevention and resolution in the inter-ethnic field. The project will gradually introduce the participants to the topic involved using non-formal educational methods and "learning by doing" approaches (group work, discussions, games, workshops, role-plays, simulations, "living library", etc.). It will take place in the same time as the annual Ethnic Minorities Festival in Chisinau that promotes tolerance and solidarity among different ethnic groups (more than 40 were involved in 2012).Young people will reflect on the principles of conflict management and resolution, the importance of conflict prevention and its methods, on an interpersonal level and in the relations between ethnic groups. They will have the opportunity to get to know the local realities in Moldova regarding its multi-ethnic and multi-cultural atmosphere by visiting Dubasari, a multi-ethnic region, close to Transnistria, and Comrat, a town in the Gagauz autonomy, a region that is an example of successful convivence of different ethnic groups. The participants will also meet with representatives of the local authorities and the local community. The culmination of the project will be an event (flash mob, a photo exhibition, or a forum theatre representation, depending on the decision of the participants and their creative approach) that will involve the local people and will focus their attention on the topic. This event will be chosen, planned, prepared and realized by the participants with the help of the leaders and organisers and it will be a part of the Festival.
