Resumo: The mission of our association is to provide young people with accessible educational opportunities to help them reach their full potential. In this regard, educating young people in Arad to accept diversity and create a pleasant and safe environment for them is of particular interest to us.
In addition, as active members of the European Peer Training Organization, we are seeking to help our common mission, to help young people embrace the diversity that surrounds us, butalso to promote peer education as a way of social transformation.

Tarefas: The city has a very high rate of exclusion (and consequently bullying). In the last three international volunteering projects we organised, through more than 2000 dedicated questionnaires applied at local level to youngsters aged 13 - 24, we discovered that:
- intolerance reaches alarming levels (> 50%) when it comes to some vulnerable groups such as: persons of another religion, those belonging to the Roma minority, those with disabilities or with another sexual orientation;
- between 15 and 35% of the students of the schools we worked with said they were victims of aggression from their colleagues
- in more than 80% of the cases the victims are different from their colleagues (e.g. they are of a different ethnicity or religion; they look different: they are overweight, underweight, wear glasses, etc.; have a financial situation that is not as good as their colleagues; they have a different sexual orientation or some form of disability);
- over 60% of youngsters admit that they were involved in oppressing their peers;
- as little as 4% of youngsters with disabilities are participating in activities conducted by a youth organisation and close to 90% of the youth organisations do not provide accessible services to persons with disabilities.

Taking into consideration the problems identified, the activities we propose include:
- Anti-discrimination workshops in schools, with more than 2000 beneficiaries;
- Training activities for teachers in the field of inclusion and non-formal education, with over 20 schools involved;
- Training activities for youth workers and young volunteers, with more than 200 persons trained who multiplied the programme with more than 2500 young people;
- Volunteering activities in favor of vulnerable groups, with more than 100 young people involved.

The intervention model we are proposing, based on the lessons learned in previous projects, includes a three-way approach:
1. Education – educating the youngsters to be more tolerant through specific training programmes. This will be achieved by organising weekly anti-discrimination and anti-bullying workshops in different secondary schools form Arad county, and other non-formal activities in partner schools withthe aim of promoting European youth programs, the active participation of pupils in them and the stimulation of their own volunteering initiatives with vulnerable groups.

2. Inspiration – having the volunteers become role models for the young people they will be working with. This will be achieved through educational theatre activities in kindergartens and schools, with the volunteers using educational drama to promotes values such as empathy, friendship, respect for diversity and solidarity among children.

3. Action – involving the volunteers and local youngsters in activities that are in favour of vulnerable groups. This will be achieved through involving the volunteers and local youngsters in activities with our partners working with vulnerable groups (Vis de Copil association, CURUCUBEU day centre and other similar institutions from Arad), organising a Boardgames Tour (weekly game sessions with young people from privileged and disadvantaged neighbourhoods of the host community) and supporting the volunteers in developing own initiatives aimed at supporting persons and especially children from different socially challenging backgrounds are cared for.
