PLOTSI

Peer-Learning for Social Inclusion
ERASMUS+ 2021 - 2022

The purpose of the Peer-Learning for Social Inclusion partnership is to enable youth workers, trainers, mentors, educators etc. active in the cultural and creative sectors to enhance their competence in delivering learning opportunities to young people with a migration background (newcomers, second/new generation).

The aim is to develop a transnational network of peers willing to learn from each other and increase the reach and quality of youth education initiatives that are supporting social inclusion through creative works.

Our partners are specialists in media education and the cultural sector from Brussels - Memory Lab, Spain - University of Malaga, Portugal Sirigaita - and Italy - Witness Journal.
