Name
of the project: Global Intercultural Warming Against Youth
Radicalization
Date:
02/06/2017 – 10/06/2017
Country/City:
Poland, Zakopane
What was the main topic of the event?
Stella Raudsepp -
The objective of the project was intercultural dialogue, learning and
communication to promote de-radicalization, tolerance and cultural acceptance
among the youth. The main focus was on enthralling discussions about migration
and the situation of migrants and refugees in participating countries.
Marek Runga - About refugees, radicalization and immigrants
Elina Tahk - The
main topic of the project was migration and refugee crisis in participating
countries.
Raimond Pold - How
to be tolerant against refugees, how to decrease radicalisation among youth and
also what happens to the departure country, destination country and what are
the solutions to different refugee bound problems.
Villiam Poldma - Migration and integration -
mostly touching the topic of recent refugee crisis and its effects, solutions,
impacts, problems in and on European countries involved.
What was the biggest learning moments on the event
for you?
Stella Raudsepp - The
project offered many opportunities for self-growth. Since all of the activities
required teamwork, public speaking and argumentation, I felt the greatest
improvement in aforementioned spheres. In addition I gained heaps of new
knowledge about the migration situation in the participating countries, which
advocated empathy and self-analyses.
Marek Runga - I understood what difference between Immigrants and
Refugees was, and what kind of different problems are facing other countries
with refugees
Elina Tahk - Sleeping
is really important. One must be able to manage time.
Raimond Pold - Biggest
learning moment was, when we listened everybody`s opinion about refugees and
wrote down why are immigrants leaving, how to integrate them and what are
different country´s icebergs of visual and hidden values. Also i learned to be
even calmer when public speaking and also like even lead the conversations and
show others the way. Also i realised my English wasn’t 6 out of ten, because i
could speak infinitely.
Villiam Poldma - I was well aware about the
topic, but I learned a lot of insights about different separate countries
facing and handling this problem, got even more detailed view of each
individual's country's perspective on the subject.
Do you have any plans to continue active in the
field? If yes, what?
Stella Raudsepp - Yes,
I would like to facilitate an engaging project like this myself.
Marek Runga - No
Elina Tahk - Maybe
in the future.
Raimond Pold - Yeah
i have some plans. I wanted to go to the project leaders training course, but
health problems interrupted my participation. Me and my estonian friends, who
are already active in these projects, are maybe submitting application to one
more project and then we are going to Portugal for one year.
Villiam Poldma - Most of the solutions were touching the surface of the
problem and not the cause. And it's hard to get to the cause if not a
collective genuine interest and intent to solve it all over the world by people
is not developed. One can do only as much as to bring awareness to the subject
to awaken the interest and intent among the people. Apathy and ignorance is the
main problem among the masses, especially the youth.
Would you recommend it to your friends? I yes,
why? If not, why not?
Stella Raudsepp - Erasmus+
Youth Exchange projects offer the best form of non-formal education as well as
valuable opportunities to experience companionship, different countries and
discuss interesting topics with other bright minds.
Marek Runga – I’m always recommending these projects to my friends,
I telling them that it`s best way to get new friends and learn about other
cultures plus you have interesting topics to talk about.
Elina Tahk - Yes.
Why not.
Raimond Pold - Of
course i would recommend it to my friends, because you can talk about hot
topics with new people who could be your new best friends or hosts when you go
to their country. It is a good opportunity to be social, face your fears,
travel to super awesome places, and get to know different cultures. Also it can
be taken as an active cheap vacation and better than just lying under the sun
with your family or friends.
Villiam Poldma - I would definately recommend it to friends, because it
raises the awareness about the problem while meeting a lot of people interested
in the topic at the same time.
More comments or anything else you would like to
share? You can add here in your own language, if you want!
Marek Runga - I am really grateful for the facilitators in Poland, they did really
good stuff, and It was good surprise that they brought us to Morskoe oko.
Elina Tahk - Olge
mõnusad.
Raimond
Pold - I also wrote a rap song about refugees and
social problems, some lyrics are in the video we performed in the project. I
also wrote many different songs in Poland, because that place gave me
inspiration. :D
Villiam Poldma - One of the best projects I've been to so far,
considering the environment, build-up and people involved. I
am very grateful!
This Project was
financed by European Commission's Erasmus + Programme
