Camino

Project description

“CAMINO” was a 6-day training course organised by Don Bosco Youth-Net on value-based assistance in non-formal learning. The training course took place in Aktionszentrum Benediktbeuern (Germany) 26/08-02/09/2019.

​It was aimed at training experienced educators and trainers in youth work to become equipped in dealing with intra-and interreligious dialogue within an intercultural youth work setting. The main aim of this training course was ‘to develop and implement a qualitative learning programme on value-based assistance in non-formal education, aimed at generating strategic impact on DBYN and the wider European youth sector’. There have been 18 young people participating from 8 countries and 9 nationalities.
 
Essential for securing the intra- and interreligious dialogue, is balancing the religious and cultural worldviews of the participants. There is the regional balance between Western, Eastern and Southern European spirituality. There is the balance between religious worldviews in a secularized society compared with societies which have a clear religious worldview. There is a balance between belong to a religious majority compared to a religious minority. This balance is reflected in the selection of participants.
