Project „Youth is Tolerance: combating anti-Roma stereotypes among young people”,
Financed by the European commission under program "Fundamental Rights and Active Citizenship"
JUST/2011-2012-FRC/2867 – European Commission, DG Justice
50 volunteers of the project "Youth is Tolerance" from Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria and Greece were met in Chalkidiki, 15th to 18th of July, 2014.
Successfully completed the meeting with the volunteers from the partner countries of the project, by the seaside of Halkidiki!
The 42 young people from Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria were hosted to the organized camping Armenistis and by the Greek group of 10 volunteers, who offered a remarkable hospitality
The young participants were involved in creative non-formal education activities, on the acceptance of diversity and decided to implement a campaign to inform the people that lived in the camp with the slogan "All different, all equal". People had fun, were updated for the project activities in all countries, but especially, saw many young Roma and non-Roma youngsters from four countries to interact and spread the message of love and respect for diversity. Because as someone said "The world would be boring if we were all the same."
Music, dance, theatre, posters, brochures, T-shirts with slogans of love and lots of pictures! Of course, what excited the participants was the wonderful weather, the beautiful beaches and the unique landscape combining mountain and sea.
Mission completed and to be continue…. in Budapest this October.
Stay tuned!
