Intercultural Understanding Everyday seeks to reflect on the concept of intercultural dialogue in the context of youth work. In particular, it examines the difficulty of applying intercultural dialogue in the daily life of young people.

Beyond and in the aftermath of the temporary ideal atmosphere of an intercultural project environment, young people continue to have stereotypes, bias and even racism.

40 NGO workers will discuss this issue in two seminars in order to identify the problem in the definition, understanding and implementation of intercultural projects and define new approaches, recommendations and methodologies. The project will end with the organisation of a pilot training course on the new approaches.
