To achieve this we have set following objectives:Train youth workers through staff trainings to use identity building as tool for fighting against prejudice-based discrimination Raise capacity of partner organizations to tackle radicalization of young people and to prevent hate speech online and offline via exchange of good practices and jobshadowingTrain 5 local NGOs in each partner county to be able to work with youngsters on following issues: human rights, gender issues, online safety, hate speech and discrimination Carry out 135 workshops on diversity issues involving directly more than 3000 young people in participating countriesCreate 9 new activity plans for anti discrimination education, test them and add them to format which allows other organizations to use them in their workRaise the capacity of partner organizations to use peer to peer methodology for inclusion and promotion of diversity internationally and on local level with youth and youth workersWe expect that all partners have clear understanding how to work on the topic of anti-discrimination and what activities/methods they can use with different target groups. We have trained tyouth workers who are able to work on identity building as tool for preventing stereotypes and prejudice based discrimination and to be able to use non-formal methodology with youth workers/youngsters to challenge hate speech online and offline, cyber violence and bullying.We plan, that as result of project, we will have trained at least 5 local organizations in each country (totally 45) involving at least 3 youth workers from each (135 in total) and have carried out locally with local partners via 15 workshops involving 300 young people (totally 135 workshops and 3000 young people impacted in 9 countries). Via additional country specific local activities we plan to involve another 225 youngsters per country, so totally more than 2000. As result of the project, we plan create 9 workshop plans, which have been tested by our youth workers and can be used in work of anti-discrimination. This material and other made during the partnership will be uploaded on common online platform, where we will also share our personal experiences of diversity workshops and cultural specifics. On regular basis we will share on platform our experiences of local and international activities between partners and with other interested stakeholders (for example other NGOs, youth centres). In each country we will organize event to disseminate the results of the project.
