The EVS Project “Youth sharing skills to further intercultural dialogue and inclusion” will facilitate the stay of two volunteers from the Russian Federation and Belarus from 1 July 2016 until 30 June 2017 with European Youth For Action in Berlin, Germany.The project aims to strengthen young people's engagement as promoters of intercultural dialogue and social inclusion across Europe. In times where rising financial uncertainties and undercurrents of right-wing extremism causing waves of anti-migrant violence and loom over a potentially vibrant community of European youth, the volunteers will explore and debate innovative solutions to ensuring the active participation of underprivileged groups in civil society. They will take this opportunity to share the skills needed to empower young people, their peers, to act and self-organise in a way that will help make our societies sustainable and socially equitable for all; targeting both Berlin and European-wide youth.Activities include supporting the coordination of two international youth gatherings, conducting workshops and discussions for local Berlin youth, gathering materials and field research in topics connected to intercultural dialogue and inclusion and participating in non-hierarchical, consensus based office dynamics. The project's primary working and learning method will be popular education, a group facilitation technique and style of non-formal education used to raise consciousness and awareness of how individual experience relates to larger societal problems. In this model, everyone teaches and everyone learns in a collective process of creating and synergizing new knowledge. This means that it will speak to different learning styles by including a mix of discussions, workshops, team-building and hands-on activities along with structured informal time. This will encourage and empower active participation and acknowledge the importance of this input.In this project, two young persons facing economic and/or social obstacles will be selected as volunteers, thereby facilitating youth with fewer opportunities to be proactive and involved in civil society. Project partners will give priority to young people exposed to any kind of discrimination (based on culture, origin, sexual orientation etc.) and/or facing unemployment or precarity.Volunteers will acquire new practical skills like fund-raising, project management, workshop presentation, consensus decision-making structures, open source computer use, German and/or English language skills and field research methods that will help to improve their economic opportunities. Also, this EVS experience will empower the volunteers to enact their ideas and provide them with the skills and competencies needed in order to make their own projects or campaigns happen after this project.The project will be beneficial to the local community by providing interesting and valuable non-formal education for Berlin's youth. In the long term, the project will extend EYFA's network and contribute to fostering young people's sense of European citizenship and their role in the present and future of Europe as promoters of intercultural dialogue and a socially inclusive and vibrant European civil society.
