The project

Discrimination – the key word of the century is a multilateral youth exchange, involving 6 promoters from: Hungary, Greece, Turkey, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Romania, organized by My Child My Heart Association, through Youth in Action Program.

The project is promoting active youth participation, by combating discrimination and social exclusion using public manifestations as the main tool. 36 youngsters will work together preparing an event about this theme, inspired from there daily lives and the activities they will do during the project, in order to raise awareness in the community about the above stated key issue.

The project is structured in 2 parts: advanced planning visit (APV) and the youth exchange.

All of the activities will take place in Muncel Camp. The APV was during July 9th -11th, 2010, for the group leaders to know the facilities, accommodation and eating conditions, to establish the last details regarding the activities and logistics.

This is a preparation of the youth exchange that will take place during August 30th – September 8th, 2010. The youth exchange is planned in such a manner that the participants will have workshops and debates on discrimination, but also sessions to organize a public event, to raise awareness in the community on situation of discrimination. They will organize and decide regarding the activities and objects used at the event.

So far in organizing this exchange I’ve already confronted a lot of life learning situations so..just let the games begin!
