WP 2024 | Let's Speak Diversity!

With the Work Plan 2024 Let’s Speak Diversity!, supported by the EYF, JEF Europe aims at developing the competences of both youth workers and youth-led organisations, focusing on how to sensitively approach, empower, include and work with people coming from minority and linguistic backgrounds, including Roma youth.

The vision of this Work Plan is to further increase the knowledge of young activists on language and ethnic minority communities across Europe, understand their challenges and stories and encourage partners from the youth sector to listen, learn and build their work in a more inclusive way.

In this way, the main activities that will take place during the Work Plan 2024 are a Hybrid International Experts and Activists Meeting in Brussels, an International Training on minority inclusion within youth-led organisations in Limassol, Cyprus; an International Training on the empowerment of minority youth voices in youth-led organisations in Tarragona, Spain and the further implementations of 10 local activities under the framework of Europe@School and 6 hub campaigns under the framework of Be a Federalist Ally.

Through this work plan, JEF will particularly focus on building concrete ways to include minority youth, while still exploring intersections with refugee and migrant communities, racialised groups and people oppressed through gender-based discrimination in their communities.
