SemiFit - Seminar for intercultural trainers in HRE -was a space for experienced and emerging youth educational practitioners from different fields to exchange competences and experience on the different domains of intercultural trainings with linking clearly to European Human Rights education and youth work issues. SemiFit in HRE should serve as an example of Peer and Lifelong Learning where educational practitioners have had the chance to share their competencies and experiences and learn new concepts from peers. In SemiFit, every participant was actively involved in the preparation and design of the learning space, content and flow. The project was linked to key European youth policy developments where non-formal educational youth work faces a need to better connect to but also bring in its expertise: the European Youth convention in 2020, the COE rec on Youth work, the European Training Strategy for YW, the development of a European Charta on Youth work, but also reference cooperations such as “Becoming a part of Europe”, “Youth for Human Rights” or digital youth work: all indicate youth issues in Europe become more political. Such there was seen a need to foster strategically the processes of capacity development of EDC/HRE work in the field of youth, as in the recent years barriers in a lot of European countries have become higher. Semifit was developed as a partnersahip for educational practitioners and their organisations to further develop their competences and network with each other.
