We want to improve our work quality through words. We want to develop related tools and gain competences that can drive us into a higher level of youth work. A level that is attractive, persuasive, fair, accurate and noticeable for young people. Youth interaction is one of the toughest elements of our work. We all have been there; we all had coaches, mentors, role models, educators and peers that have inspired us. If we go back in time and think about what made that possible, a big part of it was that they stole our attentions by words that touch our core. On contrast, words can start conflicts, create stereotypes and spread intolerance and polarity. We are blessed with working with young people who trust our judgment and trust our knowledge. This trust is dictating us to be more careful with words, to be very specific and committed to our mission of promoting for solidarity, acceptance, human rights and global integration. The competence of calling things by the right name and in the right context, avoid misleading facts and stick to evidence based conclusions is required for our delicate work. PROJECT OBJECTIVESWith “Words Matter” we want to adopt non-violence communication, the attitude of being fair and responsible of our speeches, critical thinking to fight against extremism, social polarization, hate speech, prejudice, intolerance, misleading facts.
