Password for Human Rights: new tools for active participation
Date du début: 1 août 2016, Date de fin: 31 mars 2017 PROJET  TERMINÉ 

The project has been designed with the main purpose to involve young people having different backgrounds in a mobility activity aiming to provide the opportunity for an exchange of best practices among participants as well as to favor the acquisition of skills and knowledge. In particular, the exchange will focus on the promotion of social inclusion of migrants, asylum seekers and refugees through the use of new technologies and social media. In this respect, it aims to address the current and urgent needs to deal with the peaceful inclusion of newcomers to counter social tensions which lead to discriminating attitudes and provoke disgregation. The project will consist of three main phases. After one month of preparation, a 5-day exchange will be held in Sassari (Sardinia) from the 10th to the 14th of September 2016. From October to the end of March 2017, Follow-up activities will be implemented, along with the evaluation of the activities, as well as the dissemination of the project's outcomes, closing and reporting of the project.Sassari has been chosen for its geographical position in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea but also for its troubling situation in hosting refugees and asylum seekers that mirrors the issue addressed by many Countries in Europe, Italy included. The project will get together young people with migrant, refugee, asylum seeker backgrounds, youth active and motivated in the promotion of human rights , young journalists and bloggers. It will involve 24 participants between 18 and 30 years old, from 4 European countries (Italy, Spain, Austria, Hungary). each country group will be made of 6 components, accompaigned by a group leader plus three facilitators. This responds to our beliefs that the issue of hate towards migration refugees and asylum seekers cannot be tackled at local or National level but needs an International approach. Only by working together at the International level Human Rights activists, NGOs, institutions, media organizations and private citizens can hope to stop the hate movements that are kindling in all Europe. Within this framework, ICT and the new on-line social media are believed to be a great and affordable tool to inform and aggregate people in order to create a better world and a more inclusive Europe.The exchange will allow for raising awareness on the issue of social inclusion as well as for participants' acquisition of competences in the use of internet technology and social media to fight discrimination and promote the social participation of marginalized groups. In this respect, the exchange will favor:1. the development of guidelines that identifies potential and limits coming from the experiences of the participants, in order to individuate the good practices as well as their replicability within different cotexts to fight discrimination, foster social inclusion of migrants, young refugees, minority and other vulnerable groups.2. preparation of 24 young people ready to take actions targeting inclusion of young migrants, asylum seekers, refugees in social participation;3. Promotion and dissemination of European values in youth work aimed at promotion of democratic and equal participation; 4. the creation of a network of people and organisations fostering Human Rights and a responsible use of media tools against discrimination.To reach its purposes, the project implementation will benefit from a blended methodology as a combination between formal education, non-formal education and informal learning. By considering formal, non-formal and informal learning process as “complementary and mutually re¬inforcing elements of a lifelong learning process”, their combination will allow for the creation of a comprehensive methodology to guide the learning process towards the expected results. In line with NFE, the acquisition of skills, knowledge and attitudes will occur on a voluntary basis and the possibility to join them will be open to everybody without discrimination. By using this approach, the NFE will favor a participatory approach where each individual will be encouraged to express his/her ideas and will be empowered with skills to realize them through the tools at their disposal. The project is expected to have an impact both in the short and long period. In the short period, the acquisition of competences and knowledge will have an impact on participants who will be equipped by new skills and a new attitude towards other cultures and towards the issue of inclusion of migrants, asylum seekers and refugees. In the medium and long term it will favor the development of competences for organizations to deal with people having different cultural backgrounds and will set in motion a deep process of change having as main goal the promotion and the realization of social inclusion.
