Summary
Objectives
Exclusion is defined as a multi-layered deprivation of essential human rights, which can be seen in a variety of settings, including social media, neighbourhoods, schools, and businesses. Poverty, prejudice, and disadvantage are all aspects of social inclusion.
Many young individuals in modern society are influenced by social media. Exclusion is founded in social inequities and is defined as a process that involves the denial of rights to resources and services, as well as the denial of the right to engage on equal terms in economic, social, cultural, or political connections.
Poverty, disability, racism, and prejudice are some of the other factors for youth exclusion.
OBJECTIVES:
– To foster participation in democratic life in Europe, active citizenship, intercultural dialogue, social inclusion, and solidarity among EU and non-EU countries.
– To promote participation in democratic life in Europe, active citizenship, intercultural dialogue, social inclusion, and solidarity.
– To create new skills and levels of competence in youth involvement, including those with fewer possibilities, in order to better encourage young people to contribute effective and innovative actions.
