"<< Objectives >>Fighting racism is a battle that must begin with itself, taking the time to know the other, its culture, its religion and its customs. Then ignorance, prejudices, fear, scorn and exclusion will no longer be right. It is also to educate others to be able to overcome anything that can lead them to racist behaviour.This youth exchange project aims to involve 40 young participants to promote mutual understanding and solidarity through cooking. We want, through food, to reflect cultural diversity and European citizenship. The participants will cook together for 8 days, exchange their own traditional recipes and share their best practices on intercultural management and ways to fight against racism.The objectives sought during this exchange are the following:• to promote exchanges between young people from different social backgrounds and cultures• to promote the expression of the young audience through the cuisine• valuing the work of those who are easily blamed or discriminated against and who often come from elsewhere• to transform the image of neighbourhoods and its inhabitants• to enrich the diversity and contribution of migrant populations• to fight against racism and discrimination• to share the cuisine<< Activities >>Thanks to the cooking workshops and the moments dedicated to the exchange, it will be possible to think about European citizenship and to cross the intercultural barriers. We also think that through cooking we will succeed in creating a common space of goodwill and listening, a ""safe space"" in which participants will feel comfortable and confident enough to share experiences, sensations, traditions and skills.All activities will be facilitated with methods and methodologies of non-formal education.This pedagogy will stimulate another important thing: nonverbal communication through which young people will be able to go beyond language barriers.This project will require an exchange of knowledge and culinary traditions on the part of young people. In addition, the interventions of experts from associations will enrich the debates and allow young people to know the local associative fabric. Friendly highlights are also on the agenda (International Coffee, cultural theme evenings). At the end of the exchange, the young participants will prepare a dinner for the inhabitants of the city who will be able to benefit from this experience.As part of this project, we want to work with young people from so-called sensitive neighbourhoods. These young people have the following profiles:- school or student failures- unemployed, often long-term workers or young workers- living on the margins of society- often victims of racism and discrimination- issues of migrationThis project will take place in Hamburg from 10 to 18 MAY 2020 with 5 partner associations.<< Impact >>This project will enable partner associations to develop their field of activities outside their national borders and to promote youth mobility, as well as to become familiar with what is being done at international level on this theme (eg. No Hate Speech Movement, Council of Europe campaigns).Young people may develop attractions for a foodservice sector: if necessary, we will connect them with restaurant managers for a first contact or advice.This project will also allow young people to experience a first European experience, which may lead to another mobility project."
