TOY - Trainers Online for Youth
This is a reference for Sefik Emre Coskun
Our TC was based on inter-religious dialogue. The main purpose was to get basic information about three different religions and discuss the issues in Europe that were related to these religions such as; islamophobia, xenophobia, social exclusion, minority discriminations etc. Showing the possibility of living together in a city like Izmir which was and still a home for three religions is another dimension of this seminar. Also Our aim was increase European Awareness with a small group which will be followed with an incresing effect.
the traget group of activity was young people from Europe who motivated to join in this seminar.
We had participants from;
Lithunia, Hungary, Estonia, Poland, Greece, Portugal, Holland, Ireland, Spain and Turkey.
we discussed the issues in Europe that are related to these religions such as; islamophobia, xenophobia, social exclusion, minority discriminations etc.
For example we used Abigale for Intercultural Learning. during the de-briefing we talked cultures and religions.
We used case studies for awareness about discirimination. we diveded the group 6 and gave them 6 different cases about discrimination. then we talked about the topic and tried to raise awareness about the topic.
After the TC all participants said that they raiesed their awareness about interreligious dialogue.
After the project, some groups organized some projects about this topic.
In team there are 3 full time trainers.
Mu role in the group, group dynamic activities. and sessions about Youth Programme and Future Projects.
