To us, Projects are the actions that we really hope have a positive impact on our society. The fundamental reason for our existence, are our Projects.

Majority of the projects on our website have been conceived, developed and managed by MoE, however, some projects are led by others with whom we have co-operated and delievered together.

The overall message and goal of our projects:

To honour the difference (race, ethnicity, sexuality, age, religion, disability) and celebrate the diversity of cultures, traditions, customs etc. To embrace and accept diversity as assets equally valued with other assets such as economic, and necessary as social and political. By doing the above, our wish is to help create positive energy towards "diversity", through this make real and lasting change individually and as humanity.

Our projects are grouped into one of 6 Actions Programme areas, these are listed below.

Action Programme:

Community and Social Cohesion Legacy House European Young People International Development Values, Faith and Inter-religious

Projects are:

Based within Values of respect, peace, justice, equality, truth, love, solidarity etc. Inspired and championed by a young person or group of young people The individual or group are willing to be part of the journey of transforming the idea into action.

The Learning & Educational Method:

A non-formal education approaches, e.g. Intercultural activities, workshops, field trips and seminars and project delivery centred around young people Using art, music, painting, multi-media, movement, drama, and sport

The Core values of our methodology is underpinned by

Respect for one another Providing safe environment where people are confident, inspired and motivated Participation and active citizenship

Multi-dimensional nature of our projects:

Can be specifically for one Programme Area e.g. European or Some of our projects produce, educational material such as resource packs and tool kits, other projects produce exhibitions, CD’s, and posters these products help us disseminate and cascade the outcomes of projects – thereby extending the life of the project and increasing the number of people who benefit. Crisscross from one more Programme areas such as Community & Social Cohesion to perhaps European.

Equally importantly a Project can overlap from one area of interest area such as environment. To a Project that overlaps many areas of interest such as citizenship, global citizenship, training.

This means that our projects may not always fall neatly into Programme areas headings.
