PeerAct is an international effort of nine partners from eight European countries to contribute substantially to building peaceful societies and to tackling all forms of discrimination, intolerance and inequality by involving youngsters and communities from different backgrounds and countries in the AWOD - A world of difference" training programme and by creating synergies between the formal and the non-formal education system.
The general objective of the project is to equip 1300 young people across various communities with necessary social and civic competences that will make them embrace the values of non-discrimination, tolerance, solidarity, and equality. Alongside this, the aim is also to provide 70 young people with the competences and certification needed to facilitate the process that leads to these acquisitions and to develop a framework for cooperation. This will allow the non-formal learning process to be included in the European formal learning system as a complementary means to facilitate the acquisition of these competencies in schools.
