The training is implemented by Generation for Change CY and YEU Cyprus in the framework of the AntiRacism360 and ParticipAction projects. ParticipAction is co-funded by the European Union through the Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values (CERV) program. AntiRacism360 is co-funded by the European Union through the Erasmus+ program.
The AntiRacism360 project addresses the growing rise of racism, discrimination, and hate speech across Cyprus and Greece. The project aims to promote social inclusion, unity, and diversity by equipping young people and youth workers with creative, practical, and digital resources to effectively counter racist behavior and build more inclusive communities. ParticipAction aims to promote the civic participation of young people by bringing them together to foster a mutual understanding of each other’s views, shared experiences, challenges, and barriers to democratic participation.
