The October 2007 ’’From strangers to citizens’’ seminar brought together a group of young professionals and volunteers from Spain, France, Germany and Poland who had the opportunity to learn more about the lives of minority groups in Granada. The project focused primarily on the diff erent situations of immigrant and Roma youth, and their place in the Andalusian community. The seminar’s activities were directed towards inclusion and participation, and were based on the combined experiences of several organisations, workshops and conferences. An element of intercultural learning marked the entire week due to the cultural and ethnic diversity of the participating group. Considerable support was provided by translators in both formal and non- formal learning situations, so that no communication problems arose, which helped conversation flow more naturally and allowed everyone to share their ideas more effectively. The seminar raised awareness about the possibilities of the Youth in Action Programme as a way of communicating with even more people and getting them involved in follow-up seminars and activities supported by the project.
