Youth workers
The group actively engaged in non-formal education during the training. Participants were encouraged to be active and socialize with energizers and name-game activities. Workshops and team-building exercises aim to get participants interested in the subject and help them understand the current refugee issue.
Additionally, presentations, discussions, and debates served as indicators for participants' knowledge of human rights terminology and theoretical perspectives. Additionally, role-playing and theatrical exercises inspired participants to come up with solutions for a significant issue like refugee treatment. Presentations worked as indicators for participants to be informed about terminologies and theoretical approaches to Human Rights. Additionally, role-playing and theatrical activities gave the motivation to brainstorm ideas on how a major problem such as refugee treatment can be faced.
The participants, who were youth workers addressing a variety of challenges in multicultural contexts, have acquired a new viewpoint and new ideas on non-formal education practices that are closely related to the human rights era. More precisely, through learning about human refugees, the participants were able to cultivate the mindset and attitude of engaged citizens. Participants were able to come up with potential solutions and strategies for the refugee crisis through brainstorming sessions.
The ability of youth workers to differentiate between the phrases immigrants, migrants, refugees, asylum seekers, and displaced people was obtained.
Finally, young workers gave enlightening presentations about the current state of affairs as seen through the eyes of refugees in their home nations.
