PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Diversity Our Best Choice is a global project that is framed with the objective of promoting the social inclusion of children and young people, using different types of intervention in the extracurricular educational framework, innovative methodologies and community work To, through cultural knowledge, promote the rupture with obstacles that may prevent third-country nationals from fully using and enjoying their rights, generating an increase in social cohesion in our country.
In this way, the project focuses on promoting the social inclusion of migrant children and youth in Spain through awareness-raising actions aimed at them as their two most representative socializing agents at that time, Family and educational agents. Second, it seeks to train educational agents who are in contact with the target population, since these are also key players in the construction of intercultural societies.
The project is built based on two lines of work that are being carried out:
- Training line . Formal and non-formal education agents are being trained in Human Rights, Interculturality, Participatory Methodologies, Social Skills and Conflict Resolution.
- Sensitization line . This line has the purpose of using awareness as a channel for the knowledge of other cultures, creating dialogue for the understanding of other realities with a more attractive modality for the population. This line is presented with a community perspective, raising awareness actions for children, adolescents, youth, families and the general population:
