?ON Youth - Operation New Youth? is a Training Course focused on promoting intercultural awareness and cooperation towards fighting against marginalisation of culturally excluded social groups, with a particular focus on refugees, people with disabilities and the Roma Community. It took place in Edirne, Turkey, between the 23th and the 31st of August 2014.
The main objectives of this project were to raise awareness, among young people and youth workers, on the concept of culture and the extent to which culture has an effect on the exclusion from society, in Europe, of certain groups such as refugees, people with disabilities and the Roma Community. Furthermore, this Training Course aimed to find cross-cultural and sustainable solutions in order to fight against discrimination and to promote social inclusion, as well as to encourage voluntarism and active European citizenship.
The participants to this Training Course were 33 youth workers and volunteers in the field of Human Rights and Social Inclusion of minorities. 8 of these participants were young people with fewer opportunities. Their ages were ranging from 18 to 30 years old and equal numbers of male and female participants were selected. The organisations participating to this Training Course are based in: Turkey, Italy, France, United Kingdom, Romania and Cyprus. There were three trainers for our project. Barti Zoltan was from Romania, Mohammad was from England and Elif was from Turkey.
The main activities that had been carried out aimed to enhance the knowledge and skills of participants, with regards to the learning objectives of this Training Course. Through the first cycle of activities, the participants were introduced to the concept of culture, social inclusion of minorities, stereotypes and prejudice. The participants then had the opportunity to meet people with fewer opportunities. Following this, the participants became familiar with the methodology commonly used by NGOs and volunteers, in order to introduce sustainable solutions towards the inclusion of minorities in society. The participants then engaged in role-play in order to consolidate the knowledge gained by previous activities. The final cycle of activities aimed to enable and encourage participants to become active and engaged volunteers, by designing and running a real campaign aiming to promote the social inclusion of minority groups, which they are encouraged to carry on beyond the Training Course.
This Training Course had been carried out using informal and non-formal education methods. Learning outcomes and needs have been established and evaluated in collaboration with the participants and partner organisations and appropriate activities have been designed in order to achieve these outcomes. The Training Course had been carried out by experienced trainers who ensured the active participation and self-directed learning of all participants. The participants have had the opportunity for reflection and self-assessment of the learning process and learning outcomes.
The impact and outcomes of this Training Course are to enhance the knowledge and skills of participants and their organisations in the field of social inclusion of minorities. Furthermore, to provide them with the tools necessary in order to raise awareness on these issues in their local communities. In addition, to raise awareness and visibility of the issue of social exclusion of minorities in Edirne, by involving local stakeholders and media. Through this training course, we wanted to provide information to young people and local stakeholders about the National Agency and the Erasmus Plus Programme and also to encourage them to organise their own projects, promoting the social inclusion of minorities.
