From 6th to 14th of December 2016 we took part in implemented in Wisla (Poland) international project, funded by the Erasmus + Programme – “We are all equal”. The main organizer of the project was Association “Porozumienie Pokolen”. It was a youth exchange, which was attended by young poeple from Poland, Romania, Turkey and Slovakia. The aim of the project was to gain new knowledge, attitudes and competencies in four different religions: Catholicism, Islam, Orthodoxy and Judaism. Participants of the project raised such a difficult subject, which is religious discrimination, aggression and violence against representatives of various religions, as well as the importance of respecting human rights and being aware and young citizen. Participants, and also representatives of four different religions, have established a common intercultural and interreligious dialogue. All activities were based on non-formal education tools, such as workshops, integration games, discussions, living library, meetings with local community and national evenings. Participants could integrate with each other, get to know each other better and gain new knowledge about their cultures. During the project, participants organized a living library at the high school in Dabrowa Gornicza. It was such a great opportunity to ask questions to all representatives of different religions. Young people from local community could learn something new about our religions and cultures and break typical stereotypes. Nine-day youth exchange was a successful experience and amazing opportunity to make new, international friendships, gain new knowledge and expand horizons.
Projekt bol podporený z programu Erasmus+ a hosťovaný organizáciou Porozumienie Pokoleń.
