Under the Call of “Partnerships for Cooperation in the fields of education and training and youth”, PENDYW (Promoting Equality and non-discrimination in youth work) is an Erasmus+ supported Project aimed at fostering youth participation, fighting discriminations and social exclusion towards most vulnerable categories, such as ethnic and religious minorities, LGBTQ+ persons, youth with disability and young refugees. More in particular, the project emphasises how discrimination could affect young people’s health, employment opportunities and their political engagement, advocating for youth involvement in decision-making. Moreover, PENDYW seeks to strengthen youth trainers’ action in promoting equality and non-discrimination, in the light of post-COVID-19 changes and new challenges in the Youth Work field.  

The project plans to assess, synthetize and present the experiences from the youth field relevant to non-discrimination, equality and inclusion.

Based on these outcomes, youth work providers will be strengthened to provide improved quality of youth work activities directed protecting the rights of vulnerable groups. At the same time, young leaders experiencing discrimination and exclusion will be empowered to take part in the lives of their associations, local participation structures and European level platforms.

The project is coordinated by YEU international and the Project Consortium includes Culture Goes Europe (CGE) from Germany, Center for Intercultural Dialogue (CID) from North Macedonia, MOJU from Portugal and Youth Express Network (Y-E-N) from France, together with CCF.

Promouvoir l'égalité et la non-discrimination dans le travail auprès des jeunes

Décembre 2023 - Novembre 2025

Soutenu par le programme Erasmus+, le projet PENDYW (Promouvoir l'égalité et la non-discrimination dans le travail auprès des jeunes) s'inscrit dans le cadre de l'appel à propositions "Partenariats pour la coopération dans les domaines de l'éducation et de la formation et de la jeunesse". Il a pour ambition de renforcer la participation des jeunes et de lutter contre les discriminations et l'exclusion sociale dont sont victimes les catégories les plus vulnérables : minorités ethniques et religieuses, personnes LGBTQ+, jeunes en situation de handicap et jeunes réfugiés. PENDYW met en lumière les conséquences de la discrimination sur la santé, l'accès à l'emploi et l'engagement politique des jeunes, et plaide pour une plus grande inclusion de ces derniers dans les processus décisionnels. Le projet vise également à outiller les formateurs de jeunesse pour mieux promouvoir l'égalité et la non-discrimination, en tenant compte des mutations post-COVID-19 et des nouveaux enjeux du travail auprès des jeunes.

Coordonné par YEU International, le projet PENDYW réunit un consortium de partenaires engagés : Culture Goes Europe (CGE, Allemagne), le Centre de dialogue interculturel (CID, Macédoine du Nord), MOJU (Portugal), Youth Express Network (Y-E-N, France) et le CCF (France).

The exhibition All our tears was supported by the association Curiosite after it was internally selected by the Arts Club of the Council of Europe’s Amicale. CCF provided logistical support and venue for the visitors from the Balkans, and organised a visit to the OFAJ - Franco-German Youth Cooperation Office. 

This unique exhibition is dedicated to the stories of victims of wars in the region. The goal of the installation is to acquaint the general public with the stories and make a plea for support for the victims and other affected groups in the region in their pursuit of truth and justice.

The exhibition consists of 34 original photographs, taken by four photographers in various places in Serbia, Kosovo and North Macedonia. The photographers: Arbnora Memeti, Nake Batev, Atdhe Mulla and Borislav Pešić.

The stories represent several aspects of the wars in the former Yugoslavia - family photos of missing persons, sites of atrocities, mass graves, internally-displaced people and memorials, but also the lingering consequences of the conflict that are still felt today, showing all the tragedy and complexity of the war.

The process of creation is done in cooperation with associations of families of the missing and deceased from Serbia and Kosovo, as well as families of deceased civilians and IDPs from North Macedonia, with the aim to open space for new opportunities and joint initiatives when it comes to building peace and reconciliation in the region.

The exhibition is part of the project “Strengthening Inclusive Victim Voices, Transforming Narratives” funded by the EU, and implemented by the consortium consisting of Peace Action (N. Macedonia), Civic Initiatives (Serbia), Integra (Kosovo) and New Social Initiative (Kosovo), with the support of PAX (The Netherlands) and ICTJ (USA).
