PeerAct
Discrimination and intolerances among youth based on religion, gender, ethnicity, race, disability or sexual orientation or simply not fitting the social norms can be seen in many countries today. This situation is not compatible to the values on which the EU was founded and a solution for combating this phenomenon is needed. We believe that non-governmental youth organisations need to tackle this issue and for this they need an effective solution and resources that can be implemented at local level.
PeerAct is meant to be a peer-to-peer solution to address these issues. At its foundation lies the "A world of difference – AWOD”® training programme, which has been used for more than 20 years and which has already proven its effectiveness in fostering non-discrimination, tolerance, solidarity and equality on more than 350 000 worldwide beneficiaries. The programme uses interactive methods such as simulations, small and large group discussion, role-plays, dramatizations, that generate experiences which later help participants reflect and draw conclusions about the ways in which differences impact our daily lives.
