Time to say I CAN
Start date: Jul 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Currently, the european community is facing 2 big problems among young people: the lack of job opportunities and the tendency for intolerace, discrimination and exclusion, which is widely visible across the societies. Nowadays, the discrimination and exclusion showed by young people towards minorities and imigrants come from the uncertainty about finding a workplace or from the uncertainty of the future. The religion matter is marginal, and young people are actionally manifesting discrimination and xenofoby due to the uncertainty of the their own future. AT the end of 2015, the unemployment rate in Spain was 47.7% and in Italy 39.8%, hign numbers which show us that almost one out of 2 young people does not have a job. In the same time, there were 5.4 million immigrants in Spain (out of which about 500.000 thousand from conflict areas) and 4.9 million in Italy (out of which 600.000 thousand from conflict areas). This situation escalades the fears for future and leads to tendencyes of radicalization, intolerance and discrimination towards other youth people with different nationalities and cultures.The objectives of the project are:O1. Promote tolerance, intercultural dialogue and development of entrepreneurial competences for 38 young people aged 18-30 from 5 european countriesO2. Gain of key competencies (entrepreneurship, cultural awareness and expression) for 24 active youth workers from 5 european countries, with the goal of multiplying this initiative at the level of the partner’s local communitiesO3. Development the capacy of the 5 partner NGO’s for cooperation at national and international level against discrimination, intolerance and radicalization of young people, by transfering the know-how and good practices gained during the 2 mobilitiesO4. Inclusion of 10 young people with fewer opportunities belonging to minorities or immigrants, in order to establish communication bridges for intercultural dialogue and tolerance.Project “Time to say I CAN” will be implemented over a 6 month period, between 1 July-31 December 2016 and will consist in 2 mobilities, as follows:a.
