Recommendations to youngsters on how to tackle
extremism and xenophobia in local realities
Why?: Because often young people are not aware of what’s happening around them. Nowadays less
young people are active in the society and many of them believe the social problems can’t affect them
(because they are far away from them)
Recommendations:
1. Volunteering: we advise young people to volunteer in local activities in order to
contribute
to the society in which they live. Also, they’ll learn how to react against extremism or
xenophobia
in order to bring positive change in their society.
2. We recommend youngsters to participate in intercultural activities and mobility
programs. Intercultural activities have the aim to include diverse social groups in the
intercultural societies. Furthermore, mobility programs give young people an
opportunity to study, work or attend seminars in different countries. Programs such as
Erasmus+, EVS, internships,
workcamps will give new experiences in the international environment.
3. Support, guide, and develop a dialogue between young people with different
backgrounds.
