Good Practice: the essential good practice in this programme is that uniquely the trainers on this programme are people who have experience discrimination and prejudice because of their protected characteristic so they bring the ‘lived experience’ of discrimination to both the development and the delivery of the training programme
RKI from Finland, ride Ljubljana form Slovenia, Interfaith Scotland and 2 other partners form Portugal and Ireland have been working in partnership to train young people with key protected characteristics to become trainers. This group of 20 trainers are then tasked with delivering the training to 500 youth workers across Europe. The Scottish trainers are from the following backgrounds; Muslim (Somalian), Sikh, Christian and Greek Orthodox and in the past 10 months have already trained 90 youth workers to recognise, manage and transform hate speech in youth work settings.
