    Common Ground continues back home

    Our Common Ground participants have been busy this summer! After returning from the Erasmus+ exchange in Marrakech, they organised eight local sessions across six countries, bringing together more than 160 people. Each team chose an issue that mattered in their community and took on the work of organising and leading the sessions. People brought their own experiences into the discussions, from everyday racism to the abuse that can surround football rivalries. In Egypt and Jordan, some conversations even ran longer than planned because participants had so much to share. Here’s what the teams worked on: For our teams, this meant putting their learning to use with people in their own communities and gaining experience in leading activities themselves. For those attending, it was a chance to discuss concerns that can be difficult to raise and learn from others facing similar situations. Big thanks to our participants for taking the initiative! We couldn’t be more proud of what they achieved together ❤️

    Unplugged Transnational Project Meeting in Nice

    April was a big month for the Unplugged project. In mid-April, we hosted the Unplugged Transnational Project Meeting in Nice, France, bringing together our partners from Romania, Croatia, Poland and Turkey for three intensive days of co-creation and planning. The meeting was an important milestone for the project, building on the feedback collected during our recent national pilot workshops. Here’s what we worked on: 📌 We evaluated and compared the results from the national testing phases to see what worked and where the approach could be improved. 📌 We tested the educational board game prototype using real-life scenarios and used the feedback to refine the design. 📌 We finalised the structure and plans for the upcoming Youth Worker Manual and Youth Workbook. 📌 We outlined the new project website, planned scripts for eight educational videos and set the communication strategy for the next phase. The meeting helped us turn the lessons from the pilot phase into concrete next steps, with the final prototypes and multiplier trainings coming next.

    Countering Populism in Marrakech: One Narrative at a Time

    Perspectives on Populism (PerPop) youth Exchange is here and we’re popping with excitement for an insightful week together in sunny Marrakech! Populism has been making waves worldwide, leaving a strong impact. Divisive tactics, threats to democratic values, and a lack of respect for human rights are just some of the resulting challenges. That’s why we’ve brought together 46 young people from 8 Euro-Mediterranean countries: to tackle this issue, promote active citizenship, and stand for tolerance and inclusion. The first days have been energetic: we got to know each other, engaged in team-building activities, and laid the groundwork for the week. Participants also used artistic expression to explore the concept of populism, its core components, and strategies. Throughout the week, participants made national reality presentations, uncovering how populism takes shape in their countries, sparking lively discussions and insightful reflections. Fake news took center stage as participants sharpened their critical thinking, breaking down its core components and revealing tactics that fuel misinformation. Follow along for more updates, and don’t forget to check our story highlights!
