It is our idea for “Celebrate diversity-fight othering” to gather youngsters of different countries,
cultures and religions, but with the same challenges such as geographical obstacles and lack of
opportunities and try to make them understand how important it is to accept those differences, be
curious about other cultures and stand against of discrimination, racism and othering.
The main objectives of the project is to give youngsters with fewer opportunities chance to learn and
explore, to endorse them to be active citizens of the society, promote diversity and social inclusion
by using street art, to prevent the radicalization of socially vulnerable young people, to promote
European values and to give young people clear understanding what is othering and how mass media and
radical organisations using it for their own purposes.

Impact
Over the course of the project, the participating young people will get a better understanding why inability to accept diversity is often leading to discrimination and othering which will make them more open for new things around as well as other cultures, religious and points of view. The participants will be actively involved in implementation of the sessions and creation of street art objects.This first, for many of them, step will arouse their curiosity about the world, desire to get to know more and bring them ideas what they would like to change in their communities/surroundings and how they can do it.
