Democratic Citizenship: Euro-Mediterranean Youth Work in polarised communities

Training Course

1-8 April 2023 | Vic - Barcelona, Spain

The course develops youth workers’ competences to prepare, implement and evaluate initiatives contributing to democratic citizenship practices in polarised communities.

Focus

The training course "Democratic Citizenship: Euro-Mediterranean Youth Work in polarised communities" focuses on developing youth work competences to prepare, implement and evaluate youth work  initiatives contributing to democratic citizenship.

Youth workers will develop competences to analyse the causes, the consequences and the dynamics of polarisation and design local initiatives contributing to democratic citizenship practices in polarised communities.

The course will also foster cooperation strategies among youth work organisations in the Euro-Mediterranean area as a direct follow-up of the project.

Profile of participants

The project is designed for 26 educators and youth workers who wish to develop competences to prevent polarisation based on the principles of intercultural democratic citizenship and human rights education.

Applicants from Algeria, Belgium, Cyprus, Egypt, France, Greece, Italy, Jordania, Lebanon, Malta, Morocco, Portugal, Spain, Tunisia and Turkey with youth work experience and capacity to act as direct multipliers in their communities and organisations are welcomed to apply for the course.

Participants will be selected by the coordination team according to their Application form. Previous experience, youth work background and potential to develop concrete follow-up will be specially taken into account.

Methodological approach

The course is conceived in ways that require active participation and exchange between participants. It is based on participants’ experiences and builds on concrete actions for the future. The methodology of the training programme is based on the main principles of experiential learning cycle and non-formal education.

The programme includes the exchange of good practices as well as the development of initiatives in cooperation with other civil society actors. 

Among the depolarisation methodologies that will be shared during the course, we will explore the experiences in the development of Dialogue Circles, Living Libraries, Citizen Cohesion Spaces, Appreciative Dialogues.  

This course is coordinated by AHEAD  and run by an international team of expert trainers from Lebanon, Tunisia and the Council of Europe pool of experts.

Participants will be supported along the course to produce their Youthpass.

It is expected that the impact of the course will be translated in the use of these methodologies at local and regional level, as well as in the creation of synergies and the increase of cooperation among youth work organisations in the Euro-Mediterranean area.
