Aims & objectives

The training aimed to address matters of social exclusion and enhance discussions around reasons and processes around it. The need it met was for young people, to see the roots of destructive behavior, learn to recognize and handle it.
In terms of goal of the organization, we developed a new tool of addressing matters of bullying and social exclusion, role game "Just a deck of cards".

Target group & international/intercultural composition of the group & team

Young people and youth workers who due to special environments of their life and work, meet cases of social exclusion more often and needed tools of influencing the very youngsters, their mindset and decision making, through stimulating their reflexive ability. There were 5 participating countries: Sweden, Czech republic, Croatia, Turkey and Lithuania.

Training methods used & main activities

Non-formal methods like team building activities, quests, challenges, group and individual reflections, dialogues and group discussions, role play game, external performances, collaborative creative acts.

Outcomes of the activity

The group went through a massive mindset transformation followed by highly emotional discussions, revelations and talks. The role play game that was introduced to the participants, had a strong effect that together with a disclosure of the game (explanation of the dynamics witnessed by the participants) in the end of the project, led to change of perception of participants about their role in social context and their own-developed image of themselves. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1810699509012001/
