About the Course
This course is implemented in the framework of the STAR project – Stand Together Against Racism, which is a 3-year collaboration among 4 partners from Spain, Italy, Bulgaria, and Poland, with the aim to counter invisible racism and other forms of intolerance in the everyday lives of young people, including hate speech, through preventive measures, youth work, and non-formal education. Within 2 years of the project, the partner organisations worked with young people on the local level testing and upscaling approaches and tools, and in the last year of the project, we aim to share them with youth work practitioners. More information about the project here.
With this training, we aim to develop trainers´ competences as well as competencies for using and adapting tools and approaches developed within STAR project and to enable participants to run antiracist activities with young people.
Objectives
- Develop/improve trainers’ competencies especially connected with understanding and facilitating individual and group learning processes and designing educational programmes
- Build comprehensive understanding of invisible racism and how it needs to be tackled in the overall framework of antiracist work
- Explore main topics connected with antiracist work – hate speech, microaggressions, power relations, prejudices and stereotypes, emotional awareness and good treatment
- Learn how to use the manual CONSTELLATIONS in training and youth work.
- Empower participants to run antiracist activities with young people and encourage cooperation and develop common antiracist actions in their local environment/communities together with “racialized” people
How the Training Will Be Organized
The course is composed of two parts – 20 hours will be implemented in the form of ZOOM meetings in real time, and 20 hours will be done on a self-paced basis via the www.youth-mooc.eu platform. For the ZOOM meetings there will be two alternative groups created: one with training sessions in the mornings, and second with training sessions in the afternoons. In the application form you can specify which slot works better for you, but once you are assigned to a group there will be no possibility of changing your timetable.
