The aim of the Erasmus+ project is to develop the youth work competences of youth workers, youth leaders in order to adapt and use the non-formal learning methods and techniques of Not Just Numbers Manual made by UNHCR based on the needs and profile of their local target groups. To fight against raising xenophobia, radicalisation and intolerance towards refugees and migrants through local and European online and offline campaigns and youth activities.
Learning objectives of the training course are:
- To train participants in the use of the UNHCR Not Just Numbers Manual http://www.unhcr.org/numbers-toolkit/NJN-MANUAL-EN.pdf – specific to the course and the target group;
- To reflect on realities of refugees and migrants in partner countries and the impact of the refugee crisis on young people linked to cultural diversity, intercultural and inter-religious dialogue, common values of freedom, tolerance and respect of human rights;
- To develop campaign activities on the theme of #notjustnumbers countering xenophobia, radicalisation and intolerance – specific to the course and measurable through the number of campaign activities undertaken during the project;
- To work on joint future projects addressing the refugee and migration crisis local and European level according to the proposals of Erasmus+ programme.
The project is based on non-formal educational and practical methodology. that means participants will put their gained competences into practice already during the project and the training course itself. The projects’ impact is on the civic competences, entrepreneurship competence and personal, social and learning competence of participants, and it will make an impact on the partner organisations’ youth work activities with new youth work methods cooperating with young people with different cultural background. We plan to use the following methods: cooperative learning, experiential learning, montage, theatre of oppressed, creating a jigsaw, etc.
