GA number: KA220-YOU-155580C9
Funded by: Erasmus+ Duration: 11/2023-10/2025
Challenge
In today’s European societies, biases, racism, and discrimination persist despite strides towards progress. Findings from the “Multiple Discrimination & Young People in Europe” report revealed that a staggering 77.1% of young respondents have faced discrimination based on various factors. Furthermore, additional research indicates that 40% of individuals hold unconscious biases towards specific genders and ethnicities.
This bleak reality has highlighted the critical need for intensified efforts to combat discrimination against youth.
Innovation
LIGHT endeavors to transform youth work into a powerful tool for addressing biases and racism among young people, while simultaneously fostering inclusivity within society.
