Project Description
The STOP-RACISM project is an ambitious initiative spanning a period of 24 months and funded under the Erasmus Plus KA2 program. This project aims to bring about a significant change in our society’s fabric by focusing on its most dynamic demographic – the youth. Born from the urgent need to curb growing prejudices and racial discrimination, this project stands as a beacon of hope for a tolerant and inclusive future. Through innovative methods and a keen understanding of young minds, the STOP-RACISM project blends education with engagement, fostering awareness while ensuring active participation. By targeting both the individual’s mindset and the societal structure, it seeks to create an environment where diversity is celebrated, and prejudice is a thing of the past.
