“We come as one” is youth exchanged that is organized by non-governmental organisation Interaktiva from Osijek, Croatia and sponsored by European Commission. Project is conceived when young people during the conversation realized that very few young people from their community are aware that every human being has the right to protect their rights and that human rights violations are happening almost constantly in front of eyes of young people who are unable to detect this problem and somehow ignore it. Through the media, we are overwhelmed with news of a political, economic and refugee crisis, and human rights do not come to the fore.
Therefore, the stakeholders of this project wanted participants to provide basic knowledge of human rights, protection and prevention of discrimination and encourage them to become active citizens who would promote human rights and build a better society in their communities.
One of the main goals of the European Union is to become a community where everyone will have equal opportunities and opportunities regardless of the diversity that Europe is rich and regardless of the country that is part of Europe. Therefore, the objective of the project is to awaken the awareness of young people about fundamental human rights and encourage them to engage in their communities in the field of protection and promotion of human rights and to spread the voice of how important it is.
What is main goal on this project is increasing of awareness about
protection and respecting of human rights between young people and
encouraging them to become part of their community and be active
citizens that will spread gained skills to their friends and to others. We
want that participants become motivated, gain new experience and
learn new things in this field.
Main aims are:
to acquaint participants with basic human rights postulates, documents and institutions that
protect them,
to awaken the awareness of the participants in order to detect discrimination in their
communities,
learn how various actions can contribute to raising awareness of human rights violations,
encourage young people to become active citizens who will, after the project, spread through
activities at local, regional, and European level.
