Youth to Youth
Youth to Youth - deliberations and sharing of experiences on the current Mediterranean Refugee and Migrant Crisis, was a project co-funded by the Anna Lindh Foundation led by Crossing Borders (Denmark) in partnership with SwIdeas (Sweden) People Demand Change (Turkey) and the Lebanese Foundation for Permanent Civil Peace (Lebanon).
Youth to Youth brought together 16 high school youths from Lebanon, Turkey, Denmark and Sweden to gain more awareness, reflect on, and contribute with their voices and local knowledge to the ongoing cross Mediterranean refugee and migrant crisis. The project aimed to training the participants to be ambassadors for diversity and change for a more tolerant, culturally understanding and receptive region, as well as empowering and facilitating them to engage with their local and regional authorities and societies, as a way of including youth voices in public debates on migration and diversity.
