This project is an attempt to tackle an issue of integration of refugees and migrants by educators using alternative communication channels involving non-verbal communication tools and visual thinking tools in particular.

Unfortunately, when migrants come to a new community , they don’t know the local language or culture, which makes integration process rather challenging.

The project GO VISUAL Visual thinking tools for youth workers dealing with integration of migrants and refugees was born from the idea to empower youth workers, youth trainers and educators to use creative methods in education and equip them with skills of graphic facilitation, graphic recording, infographics and other tools in order to foster / ensure non-violent communication in educational process addressing current challenges such as intercultural dialogue in the work with migrants and refugees in order to help preventing radicalization of young people and to develop critical thinking abilities.

The TC objectives:

- To increase awareness of using visual thinking tools in youth work with migrants and refugees, thus eliminating language as a barier
- To learn what are those tools and how to apply them to concrete educational practice
- To create a common “graphical vocabulary” that can be shared with more youth trainers and youth workers afterwards
- To explore different art and graphic techniques and define how they can be useful in work with various inclusion groups
- To try out different techniques and identify what fits more to participants’own personal facilitating style and educational environment
- To become more self-expressive and to reduce risks of misunderstanding
- To share examples of visual realization of different cultural back grounds enabling co-cultural expression and awareness

This training activity is funded by: The Erasmus+ Youth in Action Programme
