The antecedent of the draft of the project is the conflicts in the Middle East and the Mediterranean and the tensions of nationalism, xenophobia and racism in many countries of the European Union. Recently, the emergence of governments that have driven extreme racism and xenophobia such as Leganord in Italy and Fidesz in Hungary have damaged both cultural diversity and social peace throughout Europe with the slogan «Unity in diversity» as It will look long term. In addition, the increase in discriminatory discourses towards Syrian refugees and refugees in general in our country also plays a role in damaging social peace. The previous examples show the importance of the youth field in issues such as peace building, conflict transformation, human rights education and the fight against discrimination.
