Awareness raising, advocacy, and it also seeks for creative solutions. It is a project for action and intervention. The project equips young people and youth organizations with the competencies necessary to recognize and act against such human rights violations. The overall methodology for this activity was entirely based on the principles of non-formal education such as exercises, games, group dynamics, work in plenary and in sub-groups, peer support, and self-directed learning, among others. Linguistic cooperation and solidarity were also put forward throughout the days.
Participants' awareness raised about Human Right Education and advocacy and found creative solutions to some specific problems (like minorities, LGBTQ+). Participants were equipped new competencies to recognize and act against such human rights violations.
I was one of full-time trainers. My role was to share participants' experiences about Erasmus+, Universal declaration of human rights. Also, I facilitated small group discussion and some activities in COMPASS book.
