Culture Link

The number of migrants in Europe is significant. More than half come from countries outside the European Union and the rest moved between European countries. Immigration brings diversity which in turn may lead to exclusion, misconceptions , mindsets and fears.
Given this background and situation Xeración realised that today more than ever, the key to overcome misconceptions and for people to integrate more easily there needs to be a drive towards intercultural dialogue. Through this training course, we want to show that there are common grounds between the different peoples and cultures. These can only be brought to the fore when there is communication.

Culture Link: Investing in Inter-cultural dialogue is a 7 days training course aiming to achieve three main objectives;
1. Increase the quality and level of Inter-cultural dialogue in Europe through non formal education techniques
2. Increase Inclusion within a European context
3. Achieve more skills in Project Management and active participation of young people

The objectives will be achieved through non-formal methods of education. Workshops, Group work, simulation exercises and reflection sessions will be some of the non-formal methods used for this training course. This non-formal environment will create safe and fair space were participants will not only learn about the topic covered but also acquire other soft skills such as teamwork, leadership, negotiation, inter cultural communications which are an essential competence in today's youth work. The methodology used will make sure that the three objectives of the training are met.
