The Internet is one of the greatest creations and provides people with instant access to an endless supply of knowledge and entertainment. De facto, digitalization is changing the way of living for people all over the world as it has become an important part of our daily life. In the last decade, more and more the EU institutions are focused on the use of digitalization to improve the lives of the citizens. Even the UN, when talking about the about the impact of digital technologies accepts that they can help make our world fairer, more peaceful and more just.

However, while appreciating the positive impact of the internet and digital technologies, we need to accept that internet can also threaten privacy and encourage inequalities. The European Commission has been focusing on the issue, aiming to precede the changes and to increase resilience of its citizens toward the risks that digitalization brings together with the benefits. Some of the risks include: unsafe internet, online hate speech, cyber bullying, as well as mental health problems of young people due to  the digitalization process and the society not being ready to adapt to the sudden changes. In this regard, European Commission has been focused on the abovementioned topics, encouraging youth organizations to empower youth workers and young people on them.

The aim of LIFE project, proposed by this consortium is to increase the resilience of the young generation on facing the risks of the digitalization and its impact in their everyday life through empowering youth organizations to be involved in policy dialogue and use non-formal learning in their work with the young people.

“Covid-19 threatens four lost decades for gender equality” was the alarm of UNCTD in 2021. It showed how the pandemic affected women and men differently due to their distinct roles in the society and economy. Another major problem Europe seems to experience (European Youth Goals) is the lack of recognition of discrimination toward girls and young women, while hate speech continues to be a challenge that needs to be addressed.

The project “Colors of Humanity” aims to promote gender equality and counter discrimination through using nonformal education and youth work to create social mechanisms that involve boys and young men, parents, teachers and decision-makers. Its objectives are: Empower youth NGOs and increase youth workers competencies through nonformal education in promoting EU values of non-discrimination, tolerance, inclusive societies; Support and raise the advocacy capacities of youth workers to affect their community; Increase the involvement of several stakeholders on gender antidiscrimination and awareness activities; Raising awareness and advocacy countering hate speech, combating discrimination, and breaking down traditional gender roles.
