A Walk in Your Shoes

Living in the present of these days and months in Europe has filled our minds with all sorts of questions. What is happening? Are we slowly but surely reaching back to dark old times where fear triumhped over tolerance, where discrimination was necessary and where people were seen only through national, social, economical, racial prisma? Are we slowly and volunteerly going back to the ages against which we have fought for decades? Can we have faith in troubled Europe? In the view of current European migration crisis, intolerance and racial discrimination in Europe has drastically increased. This exchange aims to identify the common causes of intolerance and analyse persisting cases of non-tolerance on the basis of culture, religion, gender, sexual orientation and race against various minorities, formulate good practices in order to reduce it, as well as strategies, which could help increase tolerance towards minorities in the participating countries and beyond. We plan to bring together 42 young people from following countries: Cyprus, Turkey, Macedonia, Germany, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Belgium and Romania and work together with them on specially thought out activities tackling the problem of intolerance in modern world and triggering discussions about questions of religion, gender, sexual orientation and many more with one basic idea.
