This project has been a process of HYP to focus on the importance of human rights, equality and intercultural dialogue. HYP is in contact with 2 other institutions based in Athens, the Social and Educational Act and the Greek Forum of migrants.The main purpose of the project was:Promoting intercultural dialogue and the importance of defending equality and solidarity,Promoting non-formal learning,The dissemination of mobility and volunteering programs through the Erasmus + programThe contact of young people from Europe with the Greek reality around refugee, immigration and minority groups,Engaging young people with non-formal learning and linking it with educational activitiesThe training of young people from the local community on human rights, intercultural dialogue, equality etc This project involved 3 volunteers from Denmark, Portugal and Croatia. The young participants showed significant motivation for participation and willingness to develop skills that are in line with the project, they wanted to get in touch with the Greek reality and to offer the social work to the organisations. During the project, volunteers developed communication skills, conflict management, engagement, goal setting, and more. The three volunteers coming from different backgrounds of both learning and experience wanted in their own way to engage in activities and develop their own projects based on the aims of both the program and themselves.The activities developed during the project were:Creating a network of people interested in Erasmus + programs specifically on human rights, immigration, minorities and non-formal learning.• Increase volunteer knowledge of European programs and values such as the spread of peace and mutual understanding.• Creating and promoting campaigns on the value of human rights and raising awareness and active participation on social issues.• Creating actions with local groups of teenagers and young people• Activities in local organisations active with minority and migrant youth groups (Immigrant Forum and Social and Educational Action.• Promoting non-formal learning and voluntary programs to empower young people in the local community to participate in relevant programs.The impact of the program was important for the local groups and stakeholders involved.The partners from the three countries, Denmark Crossing Borders Croatia Voluntary Center Zagreb and Portugal Mais Ciudadania followed this program at all stages and developed as a mission from the practices implemented in the program but also from the difficulties encountered.Local actors have stepped up their activities and have been able to develop alternative workshops and meetings by applying non-formal methods. It has been a great innovation for both organisations to bring people involved in the activities with young people from Europe with substantial benefits to all the members involved.Young volunteers developed at personal and professional levels as they were trained and applied what they learned in the activities created under the program. At the same time, the participants of the local community had the opportunity to engage in activities related to themes. The overall development of the program gave the incentive to continue the partnerships as started by this project and not to be an individual activity but a continuous action that would meet the needs of young people.
