The Training on Acceptance of Minorities and Against Marginalization (T.A.M.A.M.) was a youth workers mobility project implemented by U.S.B. in Thessaloniki, bringing together 26 youth workers, young leaders, trainers, and organizational staff from across Europe and the Balkans. The project created a dynamic learning environment that fostered collaboration, knowledge exchange, and strengthened the role of youth work in promoting inclusive societies.
The initiative focused on the challenges faced by minority youth in Europe, who were often among the most vulnerable and socially excluded groups. Through non-formal education methods, participants explored key topics such as human rights, minority–majority relations, intercultural and interfaith dialogue, and different models of social inclusion across European countries.
The main objective of the training was to empower youth workers with the skills, knowledge, and tools needed to design and implement activities that promoted inclusion, combated discrimination, and encouraged the active participation of young people in democratic life. At the same time, the project strengthened participating organizations by facilitating the exchange of best practices, innovative approaches, and practical methods for working with marginalized youth.
Through this process, T.A.M.A.M. raised awareness on social exclusion, encouraged active engagement for social change, and highlighted the Erasmus+ programme as a powerful platform for cooperation, inclusion, and meaningful participation of young people from disadvantaged and minority backgrounds.
