Today at Rhodes (Greece), the two days meeting of Coordinators takes place, giving a start of the new KA2 Project Expressions in Dialogue: Innovative youth work practices on refugee inclusion through Living Libraries.
The Project has started now in September and will last for 18 months.
This Strategic Partnership project "Expressions in Dialogue” is a direct follow-up of previous training activities developed in Estonia by Trajectory@ and their network-partners.
It appeared as a need from youth organisations to directly address the refugee cause from diverse realities in Europe creating innovative youth work tools for
• supporting the inclusion of young migrants and refugees strengthening the sense of belonging to the hosting communities
• mainstreaming intercultural dialogue and de-construct prejudices through the implementation of Living Library actions in order to encourage interaction bringing communities together.
The Project proposes to work for, with and by young migrants and refugees together with youth workers from diverse communities around Europe to develop innovative practices on refugee inclusion through Human Rights Education and Living Library methodologies.
The 5 organisations of the consortium of this Strategic partnership are:
• MTÜ Trajectorya (Estonia)
• Young Effect Association (Italy)
• AHEAD - Association of Human Rights Educators (Catalonia/Spain)
• House of Europe in Rhodes (Greece)
• VYRE – Voices of Young refugees (France)
and 2 members of this network from Poland and The Netherlands.
The Project is supported by the Erasmus + Programme of the European Commission.
