Main objective of this project is to contribute to the enhancement of quality of youth work in the specific field of racism and violence behaviours, antidemocratic, nationalistic and populistic tendencies among youth, in particular in the eastern European countries. This approach sees tight entanglement with a second priority of the Erasmus+ programme which promote social inclusion. This project operates therefore on the basis of the Paris Declaration of the EU Commission of the 17th March 2015.

 

The rational of this project lies in the antidemocratic, racist and nationalistic movements arisen in the last years within Europe, especially in the eastern European countries such as Hungary and Bulgaria, but also in Czech Republic, Germany and Slowakia.

Aim of the project is to strengthen organizations for the promotion of Democracy, prevention of racism and right-wing populism. By developing and implementing instruments for combating group-related refusals such as racism, anti-refugee and anti-Islamism as well as sexism and homophobia. This innovative measures to be developed during the project are intended as professionalization and enhancement of quality standard among organisation of youth work and their professionals. 

At the same time, according to the European Parliament resolution of 19 January 2016 on the role of intercultural dialogue, cultural diversity and education in promoting EU fundamental values (2015/2139(INI)), the instruments developed during the project serve to effectively promote European democratic values, civil society involvement and social inclusion among youth.

Sustainability

 

Based on the targeted impact and due to the dissemination activities , the EEOB project is intended to be the start for a wider strategical spill over effect in to other european countries as well as for each specific area of  youth work considered in this project. The project's results such as the intellectual output are meant to be used well over the end of the project lifespan. So the IO1 and IO2 are the methodological basis for training courses, seminars and community work to be set in place by many organisations of the youth work in Europe (included the project's partners). In particular, members of the informal network established by the Agjf will benefit from the results and will be enabled to produce more similar projects and implement non formal educational activties on their own.  As far as resources concerns, each partner of this project has the capacity to carry out training opportunities based on the intellectual outputs and on the results of this projects and/or implement activties for youth participation and opportunities for intercultural dialogs. Moreover, the production of digital materials and the open source characters of the project's result will lead to a broad dissemination, which in return will the basis for further actvities and projects to be spread out throughout Europe by stakeholders and interested active organizations of the youth work.
