Though the Arab world has a large population of youth, they are suffering from several oppressive factors which include unemployment, lack of democratic empowerment, marginalization, as well as high level of regional violence due to the unresolved central regional Palestinian-Israeli conflict and the Arab Spring. Such situation is said to allow the growth of several extreme entities that may advocate, engaging in, prepare, or support violent extremism. It is essential to have projects that provide a space for the community in general, youth and other potential vulnerable community members to discuss and reflect about their issues and to have the chance to question their surroundings and media, taking into consideration the provision of proper support from stakeholders.
This YE is to bring youth from different partner countries together and let them 'experience' how it is to exclude 'the others' and how oppressed 'the others' will feel and how 'the others' may react against this opression. During the YE, participants will 'experience' how prejudices and stereotypes may govern their behaviour and create 'the scary others' without really understanding 'the others'. During the YE, the participants will better understand the phenomenon when they go extreme, they will create 'the other' extreme. Human rights and combating violent extremism are the basis of our YE which aims at providing knowledge, skills and attitudes of EuroMed youth.
