Changing attitudes to change the world
Throughout the EU many people are faced with racism, oppression and discrimination on a daily basis.
Based on the idea that small variations in the initial conditions produce large variations in the long-term attitude of a community, the BUTTERFLY EFFECT project addresses racial incidents that are frequently experienced by youth from marginalised groups who often face multiple forms of discrimination.
We aim at strengthening the capacity of young people, educational communities, and youth organisations to tackle hate incidents and offer support through an intersectional and gender-sensitive approach and innovative solutions.
To bring about change, you must not be afraid to take the first step. We will fail when we fail to try.
The project team is composed of dedicated organisations and individuals in Italy, Croatia, Greece and Austria who have been working against discriminatory violence and oppression and for, among others, young people and their safety and well-being for many years.
Amplifying the impact of youth organisations in taking action against racism and other forms of discrimination at national and European level.
Sharing knowledge and tools with educational communities aiming at supporting youth facing hate incidents and structural discrimination.
Supporting young people in their commitment to building a more equitable society.
Raising awareness amongst society because tackling hate is the responsibility of all.
