Connect The Dots

The training course ''Connect The Dots"' will address the topics of social inclusion and anti-discrimination. This being the main theme of our project reflects the needs of multiple European societies since all of them, due to different reasons, face social exclusion. It will aim to develop among participants active expression of civic participation which will strengthen common European values such as solidarity, openness, understanding and liberty for combating poverty and marginalization through and in volunteering. It will bring together 27 participants, including training team, coming from 8 different European countries: Czech Republic, Croatia, Cyprus, Romania, Italy, Spain, Bulgaria and Poland.  ''Connect the dots'' will be held in Limassol, Cyprus from 7th until 17th of March 2017. Through using non formal learning methods such as workshops, discussions, simulation games and forum theatre it will provide to participants the competencies, skills and knowledge about poverty, marginalization, sustainable peace, human rights, anti discrimination policies and social cohesion in order for them to take actions as multipliers for greater social and community involvement in the framework of Erasmus+ Programme. The implementation of this project will result in higher level of awareness about the importance of social inclusion in the communities involved which will lead to greater effort in developing and implementing long term inclusion strategies, so we could all engage in making society where similarities are celebrated and differences are respected.  Working methods of this project are based on: - active participation in workshops, presentations, study visits - personal and group discussions - brainstorming, and sessions for enhancing creativity - personal development activities and reflection sessions - team-building activities, energizers, games (music, dance) - intercultural dialogue and presentation - role play
