“Through the Lens of the Other” explored new ways of understanding and addressing discrimination in Europe. Setting off from critical theories in social sciences and the concept of intersectionality, we exemplified through learning and audiovisual means, that discriminatory social beliefs and structures are interconnected and that systematic oppression can be neither understood nor addressed with single-issue approaches.

-Empower individuals and reinforce the agency of marginalized groups thus enhancing their representation;

– Raise awareness on the victimization of vulnerable groups thus fostering empathy;

– Promote positive attitudes towards discriminated groups thus embracing diversity as an asset in a society;

– Reduce prejudice and promote social integration thus fostering inclusion of marginalized people;

– Promote integration and cohesion among EU member states regarding rights and freedoms.

-14 short films (+4 extra) were created by project teams, translated in English and screened in local and international events and festivals held in partner communities and beyond.

– Open access educational material on intersectionality, on how to introduce the concept and to manage potential change, and tools in learning environments.

– Structured policy recommendations for the integration of marginalised groups resulting from deliberation with youngsters, stakeholders and policy makers.
