Walking Towards Inclusion: Your Role in the STAR Project’s Educational Tours 

The STAR Project unites six youth organizations from Europe, the Balkans, and the MENA region in a 30-month initiative aimed at fostering collaboration and enhancing capacity in the youth sector. Central to this project are educational walking tours, which serve as transformative tools for engaging young people in hands-on, experiential learning. These tours are designed to promote understanding of vital topics, build leadership skills, and encourage intercultural exchange.

In today’s fast-paced digital age, there is a growing need for innovative strategies to engage youth meaningfully while promoting inclusivity and cultural exchange. This project equips participants with essential tools for personal and professional growth, enabling them to become leaders and advocates for positive change in their communities.
