“Youth Overcome Hatred”
Asukoht: Zakopane , Poland
Noortevahetuse toimumise aeg: 19.10.2019 – 27.10.2019
Noortevahetuse eesmärk on tuua kokku noored huvilised vanuses 16-30, et arutleda kuidas paremini mõtestada vihakõne olemust tänapäeva ühiskonnas ja selle mõju erinevates sfäärides. Projekti esmane eesmärk on tagada noortele osalejatele kompetentsid, mis aitavad neil paremini mõista teiste kultuuriruumide eksistentsi.
Rahvusvaheline noortevahetus on erinevatest Euroopa riikidest pärit noortegruppide omavaheline koostööprojekt, mis on välja töötatud ja ellu viidud noorte poolt ning kus tegeletakse noorte jaoks oluliste teemadega. Projekt võib kesta 5-21 päeva. Noortevahetus on hea võimalus õppida tundma teisi kultuure ja noori teistest riikidest ning tegeleda just nende teemadega, mis on noorte jaoks olulised. Noortevahetuses saavad osaleda noored vanuses 13–30 eluaastat, oluline pole noore perekonnaseis, haridustase, rahvus ega keeleoskus. Noortevahetuses osalemiseks on tähtsaim noore soov kogeda ja õppida midagi uut.
Projekti töökeel on inglise keel ning sellest lähtuvalt on projektiga seonduv informatsioon ning registreerimine lisatud vastavalt. Korduma kippuvate küsimustega on võimalik tutvuda siin. Kõikide küsimustega võib meie poole pöörduda eesti keeles: info@uhiskond.ee
Projekti rahastatakse Euroopa Liidu struuktuurfondi Erasmus+ programmi vahenditest.
General information and description of the project
The Youth Exchange “Youth overcome hatred” is organized during the period of 01.06.2019 – 29.06.2019, including five members from each country(four participants + group leader).
The main topic of the project „Youth Overcome Hatred” are human rights and „hate-speech” phenomena. Nowadays, more than ever, social media plays a very important role in our lives with a significant impact on our interpersonal and social relations. Unfortunately, very often we let ourselves to be fooled by apparent anonymity in the internet. The growing phenomena of „hate-speech” have been observed for years mostly in the internet. The lack of real contact to the conversationalist deprives us of a natural empathy to another person. The human rights are “the basic rights and freedoms to which all humans are entitled”. But the concept and the primary declaration of human rights has been established in the times when the modern media did not exist. During the youth exchange we will focus together in the international environment on the concept of human rights and all it’s nowadays „friend and foes” with particular attention to the role of internet and social media.
During the 8-days programme of the mobility participants will be included in different workshops and activities relevant to the main subject-matter of the project. The facilitators’ team will use interesting non-formal learning methods adequate to the project topic and the profile of participants.
