    • Enhance youth workers’ knowledge and understanding of discrimination, stereotypes, and social exclusion, with a specific emphasis on the importance of diversity, inclusion, and tolerance in youth work.
    • Create a platform for learning about discrimination and social inclusion issues by sharing and comparing experiences and realities in both European Union countries and neighboring partner countries.
    • Foster networking among participants, encouraging the development of partnerships and joint projects under the Erasmus+ program aimed at combating discrimination, promoting social inclusion, and advancing gender equality.
    • Strengthen the capacity of youth organizations to develop and implement high-quality support systems for youth activities, including the organization of Living Library events, and to establish effective partnerships with other stakeholders working towards common goals of social inclusion and diversity.

PARTICIPANTS PROFILE

The Training Course targets 4 youth workers per organization. In total, we will select 32 participants and 4 team members (trainers and facilitators), 36 in total. The selection of the participants, except those with fewer opportunities who have already been selected, will be done by the partner organizations of the project.

For the Evaluation Meeting, participants will include 32 youth workers and 4 team members, ensuring continuity with those involved from the start. Partner organizations will select 4-5 youth workers each, focusing on those interested in anti-discrimination and human rights through the Living Library methodology.

The meeting will maintain regional balance, fostering diverse perspectives and emphasizing teamwork, leadership, and intercultural communication skills.
