"Youth work in Culturally Mixed Areas" was implemented from 14.12 to 22.12.22 in Szeged, Hungary and the main topics were:

- to increase intercultural awareness and understanding about different communication styles and approaches in multicultural areas by exchanging views and experiences;
- to promote tolerance, equity and solidarity among different cultures, nationalities, ethnic and religious groups, etc.;
- to develop attitudes for less discrimination and more positive intercultural relations;
- to experience methods and tools for intercultural education in youth work;
- to improve participants’ skills, methods and approaches when working with youth;
- to inspire new projects and activities for intercultural learning and cooperation within and for their communities;
- to promote the Erasmus+ Programme and the EU-developed tools as a resource for learning and cooperation;
- to develop skills for better project management and dissemination.
The volunteering opportunities and the training courses offers for me are life changing experience and every minute that we spend I this type of programs teaches us something, changes us in a way. You can describe it as the power of the community. The program “Youth work in Culturally Mixed Areas” was an amazing experience to increase the competencies of youth workers about intercultural communication and cooperation.
Personally, apart from all the useful information and knowledge we gained the most
important thing was the fantastic team we created. - Irene
The project was extraordinary! It was a defining moment for me. I met such amazing and open-minded people that gave me knowledge and inspiration to help in culturally mixed areas in Greece. I learned several simple yet extremely useful. techniques My favorite moment was when we visited the after-school program that helps Roma children get a chance at a better future. I love how selflessly the people of the program advocate for the children and their families. They try to integrate them in society by teaching them important life skills. - Μaria
