Social Media as the Tool for Youth Activities
Start date: May 1, 2015, End date: Jan 31, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The main aim of this project proposal is to raise awareness and create space for open dialogue, intercultural understanding, mutual respect and acceptance of diversity between majority and minority groups, not only in the partner countries involved, but across Europe – and potentially the world. Sub themes will be active citizenship and human rights education. Through new media trainings, comprising website building, blogging, pod casting, graphical designing, and video production we made campaigns targeted at European citizens in general, raising awareness of discrimination issues all over Europe. We aimed to empower European youth, enabling them to take direct action through reporting of discrimination issues and life stories directly on the future FB group, and sites, through action blogging, footage, article- and video production (creating an online magazine). The sharing of life stories and experiences is crucial for intercultural understanding and mutual respect, since sympathy grows directly proportional with knowledge, networking, and friendships. The use of new media opens the possibilities of dissemination and exploitation widely. Through an online magazine, action blogging, pod casting, video production, the outcomes and results of the project will be available to anyone – all over the world.
