In the current immigration crisis, we are facing problems are arising from intercultural relations, clash of cultures - a new wave of xenophobia, racism and social fears that can be seen in EU. This is a new problem that arises from strong social fears, stereotypes that need to be combated. We are witnessing events of violence involving migrants and refugees that can evolve into more a dangerous phenomenon. Moreover, radicalization and extremism are another side of the situation which are affecting the young people and local society. Young people who are subject to discrimination and racism in daily life can be easily fall out of society and be an easy target for radicalization.

In order to face that problem, we will provide international seminar event for youth workers, volunteers and youth leaders from the partner countries. The youth workers have to be better prepared to address European youths, to combat social fears, face problems related to xenophobia, racism and stereotypes among youth learners. We will introduce new methods efficient in learning interculturality, focusing on youth work values and combating against racism and radicalization. Moreover, experienced trainers from each partner organization will share their skills in the field of interculturality, combating against racism and radicalization with all other participants. We will also work on a common final publication as containing the combined training methods for Organisations.

Our objectives are:
-support professional development of youth workers, trainers to cope better with intercultural problems, racism, xenophobia, social fears of youth learners, particularly based on the recent immigration crisis and refugees in EU through sharing experience during seminar.
-raise youth workers' awareness, responsiveness and understanding of other cultures and countries (so they can better transfer that to the youths),
-tackling of radicalization through education and youth in action.
-increase the capacities, attractiveness and international dimension of participating organizations and youth workers through the toolkit so that they are able to offer activities and programmes that better respond to the current needs of the youths;
