Youth Mobile Books
Start date: Aug 3, 2013,

Poverty and marginalization are the issues that many young people face with. Youth Mobile Books is an innovative project designed to promote dialogue, reduce prejudices and thereby encourage integration of marginalized youth through Living Library Method. The youth exchange will tend to remove all barriers and prejudism and promote diversity and tolerance. Participants will have the opportunity to be the live books and to share their realities with the local communities, and in that way to raise their awareness about diversity. The youth exchange will gather 35 participants and leaders from 6 different countries: Spain, Turkey, Greece, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Albania, and Macedonia in Struga, Macedonia from 10 - 18 November 2013. The live books will be young people with fewer opportunities, particularly: youth from poor family, Roma young people, young people from rural areas, minority youth, refugees, migrants, disabled young people, migrants and early school leavers who are frequently confronted with prejudices and stereotypes, and who are often victims of discrimination, marginalization or social exclusion. The youth exchange will create a space for dialogue and interaction. Visitors to the Living Library will be the local community and they will have the opportunity to speak informally with the books. This YE addresses the issues that these marginalized youth face in their everyday live. It will send various messages for their inclusion into society. The public event will be happened on 16 November when is the International day of tolerance. In this way this YE will foster peaceful coexistence, understanding, and tolerance and will bring people closer together in mutual respect for the human dignity of the individua
