The program of the seminar was designed regarding partner organizations and participants needs and it is based on 3 parts: 1. Recognition and diagnose, where participants will take part in several discussion and simulations to establish a common understanding of the radicalization concepts. They will participate in a lecture given by a guest speaker who will also answer all the questions and doubts of the participants. 2. Prevention: this part of the seminar will be dedicated to drama technique workshop lead by the specialist in this technique. The expert will also introduce the concept and techniques of bibliodrama, which we see is strongly combined with preventing violent radicalization as it raises awareness of people with different beliefs and no beliefs on common values shared by humanity. The discussion will be raised here on different sample techniques which might be used with this topic while working with young people. 3. Third part of the seminar is creating future action plans. In the multicultural groups participants will work on designing new projects tackling the topics in the fields of youth work, human rights, shared values, intercultural dialogue and similar. In this part they will also have a chance to deepen their knowledge on Erasmus + Programm, its opportunities and also another European and non European programs they may use to support their everyday work.

The other outcome of this seminar will be development and the implementation of the future project ideas on the topics of human rights, solidarity, shared values, tolerance and common respect, youth work. We expect the project implementation and dissemination of its results will contribute to raising awareness on the fragile topic of youth violent radicalization and will encourage youth workers, social workers and teachers to undertake some action preventing this procedure.
