27/11-01/12/2017 - Σεμινάριο: Youth Work Against Violent Radicalisation (Μάλτα)

Youth Work Against Violent Radicalisation, Seminar / Conference, 27 November - 1 December 2017 | Malta

The Conference would like to raise awareness about the role of youth work against violent radicalization. The event is part of long term strategy that is realising for 2017 a mapping exercise of inspiring practises of NGOs working on the topic.

Youth work can make an important difference to young people at this stage, by focusing on:
• empowering youth to have a greater degree of autonomy, self-determination and control over their lives in order to enable them to represent their interests in a responsible way
• supporting youth to deal with challenges they face
• strengthening young people‘s resilience to violent ideologies by helping them recognise the harm violence can cause to them and their communities.

In this regard, youth workers may work on the development of young people’s life skills, critical thinking, inter-cultural competences, active citizenship, promotion of diversity, and common values of freedom and tolerance through non-formal and informal learning. They may create safe spaces for discussions, approaching controversial topics, questions and opportunities for young people’s engagement.

In order to examine how different actors have been dealing with potential violent radicalisation of young people, a consortium was created among SALTO EuroMed, SALTO EECA and SALTO SEE Resource Centres together with the National Agencies of Erasmus+ Youth in Action of France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, the United Kingdom as well as the European Union and the Council of Europe Youth Partnership.

This project is financed by the Erasmus+: Youth in Action Programme. Being selected for this course, all costs (accommodation, travel, visa, etc.) relevant to participation in the course will be covered by the NAs or Regional SALTO involved in this project - except a participation fee which varies from call to call and country to country.
