Active fight with discrimination

The project aims at improving young people’s motivation to fight with discrimination and engage in active opposition to discrimination in their communities, through showing them appropriate tools. The project combines sharing the knowledge with the participants’ work on mini-projects in the form of social media campaigns that raise awareness of the problem of discrimination.

Activities to be undertaken in the project:

• Workshops on various forms of discrimination, presentation of historical, sociological and psychological roots of this phenomenon.
• Workshops on human dignity from a philosophical perspective.
• Workshops on discrimination in a digital space.
• Workshops on human rights.
• Training of constructive answering in a situation of verbal attack.
• Workshops on discrimination in education and work environments.
• Workshops on dangers of discrimination and consequences of social exclusion.
• Meeting with a trainer about boosting creativity and teamwork.
• Meeting with the trainer about confidence in action and defending the dignity of others and ourselves.
• Realisation of mini-projects in 5 teams of 6 people each, in a form of own anti-discrimination campaign in social media.

What do we do during the project:

• We raise participants’ awareness of discrimination, dignity and human rights.
• Participants get to know the methods of coping with verbal attack which they may encounter in local communities or in the digital world.
• We equip participants with soft and hard skills, acquired through teamwork by carrying out anti-discrimination mini-projects.
• We improve participants’ motivation to act and their self-confidence through sessions with the trainer.
• We draw attention to the ideas realised by young people by giving them  a platform to share on our social media and website.
