United For Tolerance

This training course will help youth workers to find out how to promote Inclusion, by using non-formal education methods. We want to bring together both experienced and unexperienced youth workers that are motivated and willing to learn. The aim with this TC is to provide the opportunity for youth workers to develop their competences in a safe environment where they can practice different methods.

Our project objectives are:

1. Helping participants develop their knowledge regarding discrimination (focusing on: prejudice, conflicts, unconscious bias, stereotype, hate speech).

2. Teaching participants various non-formal methods that will be used to fight discriminatory behaviours in their community and with youth they work with.

3. Improving participants confidence in implementing equality promoting activities as well as realise the importance of sharing awareness.
