Manual
The organisations that united for this project believe that there is still a lack of understanding that diversity is a natural thing in the society; that all citizens should be treated equally regardless of their origin or place of living.
In order to reach the key aim of the project mentioned above, the following Objectives have been set:
1) to develop youth’s understanding of social exclusion that people from the villages are facing in urban areas, as well as to provide them with specific tools and support to fight that;
2) to identify the most common stereotypes towards people whose place of origin is countryside, and find ways to reduce them;
3) to spread tolerance, strengthen equality and combat marginalisation between cities and villages;
4) to increase cooperation between villages and cities in order to create joint work, inclusion, equality and social initiatives.
Problem of stereotypes towards countryside and the ensuing social exclusion is seen all over Europe. However, after discussions with different youth organizations, it was noticed that it is especially acute in Lithuania, Latvia, Romania, Turkey, Italy, and Spain. As youth workers indicate, one may find big rifts in rural and urban societies here. Therefore, youth organizations from these countries have joined-up with an aim to change the approach to- and opinion about people from countryside, minimize negative stereotypes towards them and reduce the ensuing social exclusion.
Now, we’re willing to share the results of the project implemented to other youth organisations, so that the project could be replicable elsewhere.
