The objectives are focusing on (1) developing abilities of active participation among minimum 240 ethnic persons, (2) increase the tolerance and multicultural dialogue among minimum 160 children/youth, (3) promote events about cultural identity, and to (4) incourage jobs creation and ensure a sustainable development for the four communities.
The active participation is approached from two perspectives: (1) political/civic democracy which includes gained skills, attitude and behaviors attesting good practice of democratic citizenship, and (2) economic democracy based on Progressive Utilization Theory (PROUT) principles that encourage economic cooperation, democratic control and access to the resources, mutual support for local businesses e.g “chain business" or "domino business" - known as LETS system (Local Exchange Trading System).
Expected Results: Amongst 240 members from different minority groups to gain skills and practices (1) in pro-active involvement in local life, and (2) to promote their own culture.
Amongst 80 members to gain entrepreneurship knowledge and skills that will be exercised in a competitive environment, and 160 children and young people from local schools to learn about tolerance and non-discriminatory behavior.
