By fostering intercultural dialogue, the project responds to the priorities of the European Parliament to challenge extremism through social inclusion, active citizenship and student empowerment.
Who does it benefit?
Students
For the students, the education modules will be based on writing and acting with a program animated by their teachers, with the help of guest speakers. The students will gain an increased capacity for empathy and understanding of different cultures.
