The migration flows towards and within Europe has increased drastically the last years and has become a highly politicized topic across the region. With the crisis in Syria and the resulting influx of refugees into European countries, the issue of integration will remain a key challenge for years to come and it is of vital importance to the social cohesion in Europe that this is addressed in a qualified manner. This project emphasizes dialogue as an important tool in this endeavour. While we have seen a huge number of European civilians organising and taking ownership to welcome our new citizens within these last months, it is no secret that xenophobic and islamophobic attitudes have generally been on the rise in Europe for the last decade. Topics like religion, freedom of speech, integration and civil rights are discussed frequently in the media, but unfortunately the discourse around these issues is too often aggressive and filled with emotionally charged and adversarial language, which means that we are not getting closer to understanding each other or ourselves better. Examples of this include the Muhammed drawing crisis in Denmark and more recently attacks in Paris and Brussels. These incidents are a testimony to the importance of raising awareness on intercultural understanding, empathy and dialogue. With “The Culture Next Door” we will train the participants in both their own dialogical approach to others and their skills in facilitating a meaningful and constructive dialogue. Our aims are:1. To equip youth workers with knowledge and skills to create dialogue learning spaces for youth.2. To develop the competences of youth workers and youth leaders in organizing and facilitating groups with youth at risk of being culturally and socially excluded. 3. To create a reflective process within the single youth worker on their own dialogical approach to other people and how they can improve it.4. To make the participants aware about possible lines of conflicts in working with culturally and socially excluded youth and train them in ways of dealing them.5. That every partner organization will have participants who afterwards will be equipped with competences and materials to be able to implement workshops on cultural differences and integration in the current situation back home. 6. To make the participants aware about possible lines of conflicts in working with culturally and socially excluded youth and train them in ways of dealing with this specific topic and group.
