The project "Youth as Agents of Change' is an exchange project, which will take place in The Hague. Young people from the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark and the United Kingdom will come together to learn with and from eachother.The objective of this project is to empower young people by encouraging the development of skills and competencies needed to participate fully in European societies. In addition, the aim is to raise awareness of European values and socially relevant subjects.Dalmar Foundation from The Hague is working on this project together with Alpha Trust in the UK, SUFIS from Sweden, and GIK from Denmark. These NGOs noticed in their daily work with migrant and refugee youth that they often experience barriers to full participation in the European society. They grow up in a society that differs culturally from the society in which they and / or their parents grew up. They are therefore confronted with cultural differences, but they are unaware of what that means for them. These youngsters are not used to reflecting on this. Thus making their biculturaliteit a risk rather than an opportunity. They experience uncertainty and are unaware of the value of their latent intercultural competencies. Socio-economic inequalities are additional barriers to participate as full citizens.By this exchange we offer 60 youngsters, aged 18 to 25 years with a migrant- or refugee background, the opportunity to enhance their knowledge and skills, and give them a learning experience in an international and intercultural environment. The participating youngsters participate in a programm of diverse informal learning methods: energizers and other playful games, workshops, excursions, dialogue, debate and cultural exchange. They are encouraged to reflect on and take full responsibility for their learning process. This project enables young people to become active and socially engaged citizens and to use the gained knowledge and experience for the benefit of their societies.
