5-14 /3/2016 - Training Course "A MILE IN MY SHOES: tools for fighting discrimination and building more inclusive society" (Serbia)

“A mile in my shoes: tools for fighting discrimination and building more inclusive society”. TC will happen in Serbia, in March 2016 and involve 19 participants (18+) from 5 different countries.

Europe has been facing one of the biggest crises of refugees, immigrants and asylum seekers since long time ago. Thousands of refugees daily enter Europe, coming mostly from the Middle East, in search of better life. These people go through number of situations that most of us can’t even imagine.

Also, many times we are not properly informed about this topic. Information that we get from mainstream media creates image of these people that can be misleading. We believe that this affects the society in a negative way. They don’t get a (real) chance to understand the situation and this makes them more likely to accept prejudices and stereotypes which, in the end, leads to discrimination.

The activity will take place in Serbia, in March, 2016. It is envisioned as a Training course for 19 participants (18+, no upper age limit) from five different European countries.

The main objective of the TC is providing its participants with theoretical and practical knowledge about current refugees' situation in Serbia, Europe and in the world, and providing them with tools for understanding this problem, for fighting discrimination and building inclusive society.

Through workshops, lectures, interactive presentations and discussions hosted by experts on the subject, participants will learn about different approaches to this situation which will hopefully inspire them to act and to share their knowledge. We will present to them set of tools for achieving this.

This Training Course is for 19 participants from Greece, Hungary, Portugal, Romania, Serbia.

It is recommended for Youth workers, Trainers, Youth leaders, Project managers.

Working language(s): English.

Costs: This project is financed by the Erasmus+
