Discrimination. Prejudice. Stereotypes. Social inclusion. These are not abstract topics โ they show up in youth work every day. This training course is built for youth workers, educators, and teachers who want to tackle them with real tools, practical methods, and a deeper understanding of what equality and equity actually mean in practice.

The course brings together participants from Croatia, Cyprus, Poland, Portugal, Romania, and Italy โ with experienced trainers leading a programme grounded in non-formal education methods.
