PEER POWER FOR YOUNG PEOPLE

Description

"For 20 years, the European Peer Training Organisation, of which 4motion is a member, has been very active in the field of anti-discrimination education, ceaselessly building capacities for peer trainers and youth organisations to tackle prejudice and exclusion in their own environments. EPTO members have developed and integrated a lot of effective peer-to-peer approaches targeting young people. They address themes such as social inclusion, diversity, religious dialogue, access to information, participation and lifelong learning. For the European wide dissemination of these achievements, every year, members join forces, present their results and exchange good practices in the field with other members and youth organizations/youth workers outside the network. In this way we try to contribute to the prevention of discrimination and extremism of all kind by unleashing the impactful potential of peer training. Our goal is to continue these efforts in 2018, via 2 major European events: the annual EPTO Event for Members and the European Peer Forum 2018. Our objectives are to: O1. build capacities of youth organisations and youth workers from at least 12 European countries to implement peer-to-peer approaches that promote diversity, intercultural and inter-religious dialogue and tolerance O2. design common strategies to support peer learning at local level, including face-to-face and online opportunities O3. stimulate peer learning between organisations on critical issues related to their work in the fields of diversity, intercultural and inter-religious dialogue and tolerance The two events will involve more than 30 youth workers each, from Italy, Romania, Portugal, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Estonia, Hungary, Albania, FYROM, Armenia and Ireland. The participants will develop the competencies that their NGOs need to offer better educational programmes for promoting inclusion and tackling all forms of discrimination and extremism. By experimenting peer education activities on different topics, participants will enlarge their ""toolbox"" of methods for working in favour of young people and develop new skills to take action in their daily environments. By integrating good practices and new methods related to quality in peer education into their daily work, partners will create a more professional and modern environment inside the organisation and their staff will be more motivated. The European dimension of the training will foster networking and the creation of new partnerships between the participating organisations. Overall we can say that by increasing the effectiveness of the organisations' work in terms of creating a more inclusive environment, the project will have a positive impact on the ones with which they address, stimulating their well-being."
