Diverse

Jun 122018

Contemporary societies, due to the immense interconnections existing and the increase of the mobility of people (voluntary or not, permanent or temporary), are characterized by cultural diversity and pluralism. This implies that the world experiences new phenomena in which the defense of identities, nationalism, the demands of social movements, the claim of cultural rights, etc. are mixed. For this reason, The purpose of this exchange is to contribute to overcome these challenges through the analysis of cultural diversity in order to exchange experiences and knowledge, discovering their links and facing together the challenges it poses. All this from the need to develop a vision of cultural diversity that considers that diversity as a source of wealth and indispensable part of the solution and not as the source of the problems it faces.

That is why, thanks to this youth exchange we would like:

To promote the culture of dialogue, understanding and respect for the construction of a more diverse and inclusive society.
To emphasize the importance of cultural diversity in today’s society and its relation to common European values.
To encourage personal growth and the development of key competencies among participants, especially those with fewer opportunities, through positive interaction with differences and active participation
