The project seeks to make young people more aware of the meaning of minorities as well as the word itself, because it is often falsely interpreted. We wish to banish stereotypes that are steered towards certain minorities and contribute to greater tolerance towards each other. Goals of our project: familiarize ourselves with minorities that live in the area of partnering countries, the culture, habits and traditions of partnering countries, familiarize ourselves with the diverse culture through practical examples, develop young participants personal competences, get to know minorities in the region of Pomurje and Slovenia through practical examples, get to know life near the border and the cultures that inhabit the same space, get to know the Roma and Hungarian minority in Slovenia, make young people more aware of the importance of diversity, encourage young Europeans to participate in similar projects through social media, spread tolerance among young people towards different minorities, include young people with fewer opportunities, get to know the field of human rights, improve team work skills, network organisations and strengthen the partnership.
The project includes 36 young participants from Slovenia, Croatia, Lithuania, Romania, Greece and Italy. Participants of the youth
exchange are aged from 17 to 30, among them are participants with fewer opportunities and youth leaders that are over 30 years old.
