"In the Shoes of a Migrant"

A Training Course project that aims to increase awareness among youth workers about prejudices, stereotypes, and discrimination towards migrants

When different cultures come across with each other it is easy to divide ourselves from us to them. And the process of discrimination can appear faster because most of the cultural values are unknown for people at the beginning. In Europe an increasing number of immigrant and refugees let the people to "alienate" the migrants more easily. In Turkey now use of this terminology is often because of the increased sensitivity and negativity surrounding the issue of the refugee population in Turkey. Turkey has all most 4 million refugees in the borders and this much of the population could cause a problem sometimes.

with this project we are aiming to increase awareness among youth workers about this process, which start from generalization and then prejudices, stereotypes, and discrimination. Sensitization about diversity and cultural differences would be main issue to address during project. This training course will also make youth workers more aware of the situation between cultures and make them more sensitive to how a single thought about another culture can lead to discrimination. Lastly it is also important to act against discrimination when it appears around our daily environment. To be conscious of people in our society our project will support participants by providing tools for youth workers who will fight against discrimination.

In this project there will be 10 different countries who will create a project team which will realize project with 30 youth workers in Ankara Turkey. Non formal education methods such as Forum theatre ,filmmaking, workshops, group works, energizers, games will be used during the project.
