Social Justice and
Diversity Long Term Training Course (LTTC) Training course 23 April - 28
September 2013 | Budapest, Hungary
Aim
is to increase the diversity of participants in local or international youth
projects. To achieve this, the project aims to sensitize social/youth workers
for different forms of discrimination and facilitate communication in a less
discriminative way.
The
overall aim is to increase the diversity of participants in local or
international non-formal education, e.g. youth mobility programs. To achieve
this, this Long Term Training Course (LTTC) aims to sensitize social/youth
workers for different forms of discrimination and enable them to facilitate
communication in a less discriminative way. Furthermore, to better understand
how and why young people with fewer opportunities feel that international youth
work is not for them.
In order to achieve the overall aim, the LTTC’s objectives are the following:
-
Sensitizing youth workers through the Social Justice Training method on existing
prejudices, anti-discrimination and their own ‘blind spots’ and how these were
reproduced and strengthen by fears of being different or matching the
unknown;
- Analyzing those factors (prejudices, discrimination, barriers on individual, cultural and institutional levels) that prevent participation of less-privileged youth in local or international projects;
- Supporting the participants in raising their capabilities to become aware of own privileges and resources;
- Supporting participants to ensure the feasibility and development of projects/actions with the involvement of less-privileged young people;
- Supporting participants in their learning process by providing a space to exchange experiences and good practices or possible problems.

The
LTTC will consist of one initial residential training course, one residential
advanced training course and a practical field phase between the two. During the
field phase participants are to explore the potential of social justice issues
and international projects – stimulate and support them to realize with the
support of the trainers team.
Within this LTTC there will
be an introductory phase that ensures a protected yet dynamic workspace and
introduces into the basics of the ideas and methods of Social Justice and
Diversity.
After that, two exemplary modules will be provided:
After that, two exemplary modules will be provided:
The
first module is about “sexism and heterosexism” and provides an easy access to
daily life experiences of the participants as well as a suitable approach to an
understanding of the Social Justice method.
The second module is about “classism”. The expression is rather new in European context, yet already very powerful to understand social exclusion. The module “classism” offers an exposition about discrimination and privileges based on social class background of individuals or social groups.
Both modules will help to understand the approach of Intersectionality. They will raise awareness for understanding dynamics of discrimination and exclusion and will increase personal capabilities to counteract them in daily praxis of youth work.

At the end of the first (initial) training course (first phase) there will be a careful assessment of how one can become an ally of change and fight discrimination in one’s own surrounding. Activities will be developed for every participant, which are as well feasible as they have good chances to provide meaningful outcome.
During the field phase (second phase) there will be a coaching by the trainers to accompany participants during the implementation of activities/ projects against discrimination and assure the success of the actions.
The second (advanced) training (third phase) will wrap up the experiences with implementing the idea of social justice, reflect on good and difficult practice and provide some guidelines for further work.
