Link Diversity ‘Living with the Other’, 2001

The Link Diversity Campaign in Romania addressed and involved youth in promoting the values of multicultural society and democratic citizenship. In this respect, the campaign focused on youth aged 14-25, as they are an important factor for change. Activities proposed in the ‘Living with the Other’ Campaign involved them in order to become main actors in the process of changing attitudes towards the understanding of ethno-cultural difference. The essay and the poster competition stimulated their creativity and involvement to know and accept the other.
