RUL took part in a seminar “Arts: an ally for social inclusion and intercultural learning” which took place in Protaras, Cyprus, from 5th to 10th of December, funded by the Erasmus+ Programme and organized by Network for European Citizenship and Identity – NECI. This seminar was attended by 12 youthworkers from Cyprus, Croatia, Czechia, Estonia, Greece, Italy, Lithuania, North Macedonia, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria and Latvia with the aim to to share practice and learning of social inclusion from the field of Arts for bridging cultural and national differences, to work with diversity using non formal learning method and to develop skills and competences to youthworkers and organisations for improving solidarity and social awareness.
The seminar provided a valuable platform for fostering international cooperation among participants and organizations from diverse backgrounds. Additionally, the event encouraged intercultural learning, enhancing mutual understanding and creating a foundation for future partnerships in Erasmus+ programme.
“This seminar was incredibly beneficial to me, as it introduced me to a variety of innovative methods and activities that I am eager to implement in my daily work with target groups upon returning to my organization. The logistics and overall organization of the seminar were handled exceptionally well, ensuring a seamless and productive experience for everyone involved.
All participants approached the event with respect and professionalism, delivering their workshops with enthusiasm and dedication. The group cohesion and dynamics were outstanding, creating an environment conducive to collaboration and learning. One of the highlights was the preparation of national presentations by each group, which significantly enriched the intercultural learning experience and deepened our understanding of different cultural perspectives.
On every level, this seminar exceeded my expectations and left a profound impact on me. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to learn, connect, and grow alongside such inspiring individuals. The experience has not only enriched my professional toolkit but also strengthened my belief in the power of collaboration and intercultural understanding to drive meaningful change. I return home filled with gratitude, inspiration, and renewed determination to apply these insights and contribute to creating more inclusive communities.”
