EuroCulture

During the last decades, worldwide immigration has increased significantly among others due to globalization, open borders, cheap and easy travel and the desire to have a better life. However, living in another country in the hope of a better life is not always easy. Immigrants often face challenges, for example in adaptation to the host culture through developing a new identity, while preserving their original cultural heritage. In a young age people tend to be more sensitive about their identity formation, therefore it is important to promote multiculturalism.

The aim of this project is to provide youth workers the necessary tools and practices to help young people with multicultural identity to create a healthy mindset about their cultural identities.

Objectives:
•Give and exchange best practices of how to live with more cultural identities
•Provide tools to help young people with more cultural identity to perceive multicultural identity as an asset rather than a challenge
•Make the youth workers reflect upon the importance of cultural heritage and how to maintain more cultures in daily life
•Raise awareness upon the issues young people with multicultural identity face
•Strengthen integration and feeling of belonging of young people with multicultural identity
•Foster multicultural young people’s participation in society in order to avoid their marginalization and radicalization
•Developing action plans to promote a healthy life for young people with more cultural identities.

Activities:
1. 9 days (including travel days) Study Visit (September 2019) in the Republic of Moldova
2. 10 days (including travel days) Training Course (September 2020) in the Republic of Moldova

The target group of both activities are youth leaders from the partner organizations, who work with young people with immigrant background and multicultural identity.
