Hello dear friends and partners! We are here, do you hear us? :) Here is Dora, Andra and Salvi, and we are really excited and happy

to tell you about a project idea we have, a training course for which we w o u l d like to invite you to join us, if you #nd it

interesting and useful for your organizations and yourself!

Our passion for working with people in the international, intercultural dimension brought us, #rst of all, a nice friendship. Then the many common interests, the vision we have on how to give our li)le contribution to improve the world around us (and ourselves, the values which drive us in life, led us to a fruitful cooperation – developing ideas.

Dora is from Hungary, Andra is from Romania and Salvi is from Italy.

Our story started three years ago, in the frame of international projects, Youth in Action mostly. ..

„All the ways we... create—Inclusion and exlcusion dynamics”

We spend a long period of our life in learning, in educational se)ings. With the Lifelong Learning concept, which was developed thanks to some educational European programmes in the last years, the idea that we never stop learning was well designed and clear. That’s what the purpose was at least. In schools, univer-sities, training courses, exchange pro-grammes and many more, the aim is to make learning e6ective, enjoyable as much as possible, with the best quality. From here a few questions: How many times happen that after all this studying and learning we really feel as a developed person? How many times after all this studying and learning we feel that we are ready-for-life? How many times happen, on the contrary, that exactly in those learning se)ings we have to deal with the unbearable

sense of failure? How many times it’s exactly in these learning/educational se)ings that we are exposed to dis-crimination and exclusion? Many times it happens involuntarily - but still happens -, “to exclude” somebody; with labeling, with bullying, with just raising the voice, with pointing at somebody. Since we are li)le children we are told that “we learn from mistakes”, that in life it happens “to be wrong”, but when we make mis-takes, after we are wrong many times, we are pointed at, scored with bad marks etc. And two more questions arise: to which extent we are allowed to tell a person what is wrong and what is right? Or, at least, what is the best way to “help” a person to “learn” instead of “teaching”?

“All the ways we…” is a training course, through which we would like to go around these questions. To think about and work on all the ways we can create exclu-sion, discrimination, labeling, but also all the ways we can include, prevent discrimi-nation, #nd a common understanding. “ATWW…” is a training course which focuses on all these elements, especially in learning se)ings like schools, training courses, youth camps, etc. It’s a train-ing course that will discover the ele-ments which create “PBP: personal-blocking-process”, and will result in the cre-ation and sharing of tools for the “PDP: personal-development-process” in order to allow a learner to get knowingly to his “PLP: personal learning process/plan”. And from this we got to a formula: PDP – PBP + PLP = a meaning-full one’s self!

Project for Programme and Partner Countries : 2

participants/country (social workers, youth workers,

trainers, educators, mentors.)

17-24 June 2015 Lecce, Italy

Aims: To reduce discrimination and exclusion experienced by people de#ned/labeled in many ways: “with diG-cult background”, “introverts”, “non- sociable”, people who many times are just a bit “weaker”, or have just a “di6erent way” to be in a group. Objectives: 1. personal and professional skills-development of youth workers 2. to develop and improve emotional intelligence, reHexive and meta-cognitive skills of participants who, through their work, can contribute to the reinforcement of anti-discriminative thinking, tolerance and empathy in their community 3. empowering individuals to gain equality and respect (of their rights) 4. promoting greater understanding of, ac-ceptance of and support for the personal learning process 5. communicating the above e6ectively with all key communities of educators, trainers, etc.

Aims and objectives... After the training course the participants will be able to be)er understand excluding/

discriminating group dynamics, to face and combat the phenomena of unconscious and conscious discrimi-nation, from li)le “innocent” jokes to bullying.

Expected outcomes...

Beside the intercultural skills they will develop their critical thinking, self-reHection and “outrospection” which they can use and promote through their work. Important outputs of the training will be also the magic-tool-box, tools that will be created by participants in speci#c workshops, and a manual with study-cases and good practices.

Important outputs of the training will be also the magic-tool-box, tools that will be created by participants in speci#c workshops, and a manual with study-cases and good practic-es. Participants will be able to take on an active role in solv-ing/reporting discrimination/exclusion situations; to com-municate a message in a responsible way (online and oKine). That’s why follow-up initiatives at the local and international level will be planned, designed, created during the training like communication-campaigns, workshops to share the contents of the training in order to support other people working in the #eld.
