Youth Meeting Movement project aims to transform hate speech into inclusion, division into empathy and to provide with tools, training and open spaces to whoever wants to partecipate.
The one-year project, financed by the European Union’s Erasmus+ Programme will encourage young people to partecipate to the democratic discourses at the local and international level, thanks to a training course of 5 days in Madrid and local and online meetings.
Aim of the program is to empower the partecipants to become leaders in searching for sustainable and peaceful solutions to local issues.
We believe in one thing, the power of peace education and the right for all to have an opportunity. We also think Community Building is essential and that everyone, especially those who need support to break some glass-ceilings (underrepresented minorities or with any kind of social, economic, religious, sexual background).
That’s why this training is free. You will get:
- Trip to and back Spain (for the training courses) 🚃
- Accommodation 🛌🏿
- Food 🥕☕
- Support in the creation of your community meetings from your local NGO 👋🏽
- Online and offline workshops and courses 🖥️
- Opportunity to join a network of community builders around Europe 🌐
- Skills-upgrading and further international opportunities in the future 🎉
