In den ersten beiden Jahren wurden junge Mitglieder unseres Netzwerks (die Minority Messengers) nicht nur in der Anwendung non-formaler Bildungsmethoden geschult, sondern planten und führten auch verschiedene Workshops in ganz Europa durch. All diese kleineren Aktivitäten zielten darauf ab, über das Leben junger Menschen aus Minderheiten zu informieren und Erfahrungen auszutauschen. Die Minority Messengers besuchten eine Vielzahl von Jugendorganisationen und -gruppen, sowohl aus Minderheiten als auch aus der Mehrheitsgesellschaft.

About
Das Minority Messengers-Projekt wurde von YEN von 2018 bis Ende 2020 durchgeführt. Ziel war es, Minderheitenjugendliche zu befähigen, Bewusstsein für Themen und Anliegen zu schaffen, die für sie als Mitglieder von Minderheiten in Europa wichtig sind.
2021
Changing the Narrative
The topic accompanying us throughout 2021 is “stories and narratives”. With the Workplan “Changing the Narrative” we want to take a closer look at the stories, that we tell about ourselves as individuals, that minorities tell about themselves and at the stories that society tells about us. We will learn and explore how we can write and tell our own stories.
Every day we are surrounded by stories and narratives that influence how we think about other people, about society and the world. Most of the time we only listen to those who are the loudest, the most powerful or have the best networks. Sadly, this often means that only one-sided, over-simplified or wrong stories are told about marginalised communities. This is exactly why it is important to understand and critically question how narratives and stories are written and distributed.
With the Workplan 2021 we want to contribute to making the European society more diverse and therefore focus on self-representation of young people from national, ethnic and linguistic minorities. We want to offer a space in which you can reflect and strengthen your identity and have the opportunity to tell your own story and narrative with confidence.
