Il percorso interesserà giovani italiani, bulgari e ungheresi e si propone di sensibilizzare operatori giovanili e giovani alla lotta contro il razzismo e la xenofobia oltre che ai diritti umani. Con il progetto si vuole raggiungere, attraverso I giovani e gli operatori giovanili, anche le organizzazioni di appartenenza. Per partecipare alla selezione dei partecipanti, c’è tempo fino al 20 aprile.
Obiettivo finale del progetto è infatti quello di far in modo che le organizzazioni giovanili coinvolte nel progetto definiscano ed adottino politiche organizzative anti-razziste.

The project
The Training of Trainers is organized in the framework of the Youth against Racism project – transnational project which involves non-governmental organizations from Bulgaria, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Denmark and Spain with the main aim to raise awareness among youth organizations and bodies about the problems of racism, xenophobia and discrimination and to mainstream anti-racist measures in their policies. The project starts officially on the 10th January 2010 and ends on 10th July 2011. Through seminar trainings, exchange of experience, cross-border cooperation and consultancy, youth organizations dealing with various issues (environment, charity, youth political participation, arts, leisure, etc.) will be challenged to explore their contribution in building tolerant Europe and to cross-cut anti-racist policies in their work. The project will create anti-racist youth organizational policies and resources, which will be highly promoted.
The project activities could be conventionally grouped into three main components: preparation, main action and follow-up.
1) The preparation phase includes: kick-off meeting, preparation trainers meeting and international training of trainers. These activities are extremely important to prepare the partners for the implementation of the rest of the project. They insure the partner communication for integrated action and the capacity building among the partners for mainstreaming anti-racism in all spheres of youth work.
2) The main action phase enables the partners to work directly with 120 youth organizations and bodies, to train and consult them. Milestones in this round of activities are 2 in-country seminars in each country and the international workshop that will be held in Hungary gathering 30 participants. Online campaigning on mainstreaming anti-racism in youth work cross-cuts the whole project and reaches to stakeholders out of the participating countries.
3) The follow-up phase follows the main action and is integrated part of the project, insuring its sustainability, multiplication and added value. The main efforts in this phase are focused on creating, printing and promoting the project publication, respectively – the project outcomes. Evaluation meeting is planned to serve as a tool for evaluating the action and for project-follow up discussion.
