Living Libraries for Dialogue

The project wants to mainstream intercultural dialogue and de-construct prejudices through the implementation of Living Library actions in order to encourage interaction and conversation bringing communities together.

The training “Living Libraries for Dialogue” will bring together a group of 25 youth workers and educators from communities around the Euro-Mediterranean area for a six days interactive training course that will explore the challenges of a meaningful intercultural dialogue and will develop youth work competences on preparing, implementing and evaluation Living Library actions in the public sphere thus promoting intercultural citizenship education.

Through the project we will:

  • address the current challenges that intercultural dialogue faces in the Euro-Mediterranean context and explore the role of youth work in addressing prejudice and discrimination in society;
  • develop competences to prepare, implement and evaluate local actions based on Living Library methodologies in the public sphere;
  • increase the quality and develop strategies of cooperation within the Erasmus + Youth in Action programme, especially in the Euro-Mediterranean area, creating synergies and establish networks of cooperation between youth organizations that promote dialogue among cultures.
