During and after the so-called “Summer of Migration” an unprecedented number of refugees entered the European continent, which led to a broad right-wing backlash on societal as well as political levels. This caused the common idea of European solidarity to dwindle and racism to thrive, while public attention towards the suffering at European borders decreased. One consequence of this polarization is social tensions and conflicts which also affect debates on other forms of discrimination such as sexism and classism.
This project aims at training active and motivated youth workers as multipliers to implement activities addressing discrimination and prejudices against refugees, migrants and other vulnerable groups in their communities. Likewise, the initiative will bolster an intersectional understanding of racism and related social issues and will teach the target group how to mainstream anti-discriminatory practices and attitudes in their wider work with youth as well as their daily life.
