– To create awareness about the significant influence of culture on persons’ behavior and identity;
– To raise awareness on the cultural differences between different European countries and to what extent this impacts the inclusion/exclusion of migrants and refugees in different societies;
– To explore the potential of young people as actors of inclusion and change on a local level, by developing tools, activities and sustainable strategies;
– To share good practices related to youth work, inclusion and active
participation.
– To develop an informal network of youth workers and youth leaders tackling the refugee crisis and promoting follow up projects and initiatives.
