💼 What the programme involves
When talking about discriminated minorities, even well-intentioned supporters and youth workers fall into the trap of creating and maintaining narratives where these groups and individuals appear as passive victims of politics, history and power. We believe that these narratives have to be challenged, flipped and transformed into new ones. Our aim is to learn about the different contexts, and the struggles of minority youth, to exchange practices for empowering young people who face social exclusion and develop new ways for sharing their stories of resisting exclusion and marginalization, racism and discrimination. This project aims to develop the capacities of young people in advocating for and asserting their human rights through volunteering; formulating and sharing their stories of resisting exclusion, and sharing and adapting existing practices form different contexts in India, Nicaragua, Spain, Italy and Hungary which they can utilize in their local work in the future.
