On the last Sunday of January, the project “A Change is Gonna Come” brought
together around a hundred young people interested in bringing change to
European society. In a webinar that featured Portugal, the Netherlands, Greece,
Spain, Italy, Sweden, Serbia and Romania, members discussed the results and
progress of the collaborative work carried out.
After a hands-on month, the students involved in this ETwinning project are
back in contact with the 20 international teams. This time, discrimination was
the topic that got the most prominence.
With regard to the origin of this problem across all nations, it was unanimous
that it occurs due to the lack of knowledge of the true characteristics of a group
said to be "different". Starting from these differences, topics were discussed
such as discrimination under religious groups, ethnic groups, regarding gender,
nationality and sexual orientation, always explaining good and bad examples in
the world community regarding them.
Education and objective and real information were identified as the weapons to
fight this enemy in the lives of all who inhabit this global village.
Based on the quality and creativity of the sharing that took place this Sunday
evening, we can certainly say that these young people are properly armed to
face and demystify any discrimination they may face in the future. All this
thanks to the collaboration and team spirit that are always present in these
European meetings that demonstrate that “the team work makes the dream
work”.
