Project description

Racism is an ideology which, based on the postulate of the existence of human races, considersthat certain races are intrinsically superior to others. This ideology can lead to an attitude ofhostility or systematic sympathy towards a particular category of people. It concerns behaviors,words or practices that disadvantage people because of their skin color, culture or ethnic origin.Fighting racism requires a strong political will, affirmed at the highest level of the state andleaves all the institutions of proximity. This issue needs to be widely debated and explained inall spheres of the society, in schools, colleges and universities but also in the world of sport, incompanies, associations, professional circles and family units.Racism is a parasite that proliferates and feeds on times of crisis, which generates violence,massacres. It is during these difficult times that blindness, insanity and stupidity takeprecedence over the good sense of the human being.Today, our continent is traversed by this scourge with the rise of the extreme right and politicalparties of nationalist and racist obedience. Racism is no longer a question of racial superiority,but the anxiety we feel about another person who is different and who we cannot understand.Contempt and exclusion are the result of this anxiety that turns into outright rejection. In allstates, all origins, all beliefs and cultures are affected. Each of us is an actor and a victim ofracism, consciously or not.This project is designed to educate and train youth workers on a delicate and very sensitiveissue so that they respond in a pedagogical way to young people on this issue and that they areresources for them in terms of information, awareness and actions. The response to racism canbe achieved through various means by understanding racism, discrimination, and moving fromprejudice to discrimination. It’s necessary to understand that racism is a crime severelypunishable by law as is discrimination.There is a need to understand how to act when we witness or are victim of racist ordiscriminatory acts. It will also enable us to train and promote the organization of workinggroups and support the actors in the implementation of concrete, feasible and efficientmechanisms. Stages, concrete case studies, simulations and testimonials will be on the menuduring this training for an exchange of good practices.During this project, our association Collectif ENTR’ACTION and the other partners, setthemselves as objectives:– Raise interest in human rights and issues of racism.– Develop tools and skills for democratic participation, communication and cooperation.– Empower youth workers in the fight against racism– Promote responsibility, justice and solidarity.– Questioning one’s practices by living an intercultural experience– Development of a policy for the management of racist incidents at school (or in a club ororganization).– Establish a social network to enable the different actors of activities, confronted with theseremarks, to be able to act and implement mechanisms to prevent or correct the effectsthreatening social cohesion and thus contribute to the preservation of a civic space withoutracism.The ultimate objective of this training is to bring out a shared strategy for preventing andcombating the expression of racism, in order to facilitate access to the rights of victims and toreduce the racist expression and make it intolerable in the society.So this project aims to provide pedagogical tools, concepts and information about racism usefulfor youth workers’ daily professional life. They will discover and develop new skills to reacttowards racism in their environment and to help youngsters to do the same. We will use for thatdifferent kind of activities such as real cases, simulations, games, theater, creation activities,meetings etc…The project will take place in POITIERS from 14 to 22 June 2021 with 21 participants from 7organizations.
