The programme will be detailed by the team of trainers.

* 'Questions of identity': Who am I?
* 'Me, others, society': Which groups do I belong to, how am I influenced by groups in society?
* 'Difference & diversity': not everybody is the same - how can we value difference and work inclusively? How do we deal with stereoptypes and prejudice?
* Practical tools: methods to make your youth work more inclusive and non-discriminatory - the YOUTH Programme as a tool

What the course will NOT be:

Even though the YOUTH Programme will be introduced, and you will get to know colleagues from different countries, there will only be limited time to develop concrete projects together.
