Zeit Raum Youth workers against extremism and xenophobia | Page 5

Our aim. With this Training course, we aim to empower youth workers and youth leaders with
skills, knowledge, and attitudes to develop a capacity for fighting extremism and xenophobia.
Our objectives are the following:
- To re-explore the key concepts, such as extremism and xenophobia and their transformation
in European reality
- To analyze what are the main reasons for the rise of Extremism and Islamaphobia in
different European countries
- To discover the right attitudes towards an intercultural society
- To promote active citizenship, tolerance and non-formal education
- To analyze the European values and how they can be used in contrasting those phenomena.
- To develop new projects fighting extremism and xenophobia
On a long lasting perspective, as a result of the implementation of a greater number of projects
fighting extremism and xenophobia, we will see the wider respect to European values; respect
for rights of persons belonging to minorities, their freedom, and human dignity. The project
does its contribution to reaching this objective, with this fulfilling one of the General objectives
of the Erasmus+ Programme; the promotion of European values in accordance with Article 2 of
the Treaty.
