Erasmus+: European youth Network for dIversity and TolerancE
Through the joint effort of two universities, two NGOs, an Institute and a youth center, E-UNITE (European youth Network for dIversity and TolerancE) will develop the foundations of the E-UNITE network – an international youth network, which aims to promote community-led initiatives in the fields of tolerance, inclusivity and diversity.
The main output of the project – the E-UNITE Online Hub will allow for the convergence of young minds and exchange of ideas, as well as support for such initiatives; likewise, the Online Hub will be a base for exchange of know-how and good practices of youth workers, which are interested in working on those community-led initiatives or alternatively – youth workers, who wish to develop youth networks of their own.
The partners of the project are the University of Nicosia, Law and Internet Foundation, HIGGS, Centrul Roman De Politici Europene, Celjski Mladinski Center – Celje Youth Center, the Institute for Economic, Political, and Social studies (IEPS).
The activities of E-UNITE project cover four categories:
1. The Online Hub will serve as a platform where youth workers and youth from around Europe will have the opportunity to converge, exchange ideas and help each other achieve community and network goals.
2. The online Manual for youth workers is created to contain many different sections of valuable information, insights and good practices focusing on community-building, tolerance and diversity, available in 6 languages – English, Greek, Bulgaria, Albanian, Slovenian, Romanian.
3. The youth network itself is aimed at community-building and grassroots initiatives, support by and for many different associations and organizations and is to be sustained through community efforts and backed by community-led initiatives.
4. The Sustainability Roadmap to be created by the partnership will serve the community and the expansion of the E-UNITE network even after the end of the project.
The project is implemented under the framework of the European Commissions’ Program Erasmus+, within Key Action 2: Cooperation for innovation and the exchange of good practices, Action: Strategic partnership for youth.
