The main objective of the project is to increase young persons' awareness and to promote active citizenship and involvement in the prevention and combating of discrimination, and to affirm the principle of equal opportunities on local, regional and national level. Active citizenship is closely related to in-dept knowledge of the fundamental concepts of European democracy - human rights, equality, tolerance and non-acceptance of discrimination. Those principles have been laid in the foundation of Bulgarian antidiscrimination legislation which is one of the most up-to-date and innovative legal instruments in the European Union. The promotion of active citizenship and participation of young people in social life is a main priority of Youth In Action Programme, therefore the project will provide youth with an opportunity to make direct contact with local decision-makers, especially in the area of youth policy and equality policy, and to launch constructive dialogue with local authorities, educational institutions and NGOs. The Project will contribute to the eduacational process of young people and will raise their awareness on the European context in relation to diversity and equality. Implementing the pricnicple of informal training in the field of fundamental human rights, equal opportunities and antidiscrimination, the activities will provide youth with a set of valuable knowledge and skills, opportunities for direct contact with the National Equality Body and capacity to carry further actions to combat discrimination.
