Youth Work in Culturally Mixed Areas

Training Course

14-22 December 2022 | Szeged, Hungary

During the training, participants discover different approaches and methods; analyse the different aspects of culture and interculturality, integration challenges and opportunities; and different online and offline tools and approaches.

We live in a time when more people choose to live outside of their home country than ever. The demand for migrant workers to fill gaps in local labour markets is set to rise as Europe’s population ages. Conflicts in the Middle East are forcing more refugees to seek safety in the EU. The European societies are ethnically and culturally mixed, and the trend is growing. But as societies are becoming more mixed, the conflicts between the people from different cultures are increasing.
This also increases the demand for competencies, methods and tools which shall be put into practice from the youth workers who are already working with these people in order to improve the communication and cooperation for peacefully living together.

Most learning experiences occurs in the formal environment, but the non-formal education is very important substitute and place where the young people - if are appropriately educated and motivated - can achieve great transformation of their lives. However, very often the lack of resources and competencies that the youth workers have is that what can affect the final impact and result of those learning experiences. Also, various researches have shown that if people have positive and enriching experiences with other cultures then they are more likely to embrace diversity.

The main aim of this project is to increase the competencies of youth workers about Intercultural communication and cooperation, and bring various teaching methods and pedagogical approaches for transferring that knowledge into their local realities while working with young people on a daily basis.

The project’s target group is: NGO trainers, facilitators, mentors, coaches, project managers and coordinators who are working in culturally mixed areas, directly with youth on a daily basis. The project will gather participants from 10 countries. The participants will be coming from Slovakia, Hungary, Macedonia, Germany, Finland, Denmark, Italy, Greece, Romania, and Spain. Through this call we are specifically searching for participants from all countries except Hungary.
