The intention was to check – in the case of evaluated projectsun projet est une aventure autour de la lune- if there exist any intersectional approaches and/or methods in the field of social work and Education concerning Violence prevention.

Monday – Afternoon session

The Austrian group had decided to divide the morning session into two parts, one performed by Livinus and the other by Jasmine.
Livinus presented M.IK.E – Migration.Interculture.Empowerment. It is a project, developed by people with migrant background for people with migrant background. The project focuses empowerment as a main approach in the field of work with young people. Empowerment as a process of self-determination, personal responsibility and self-organisation should strengthen the ability of political participation. Implicitly, the organisation follows an approach that could be described by the idea: “Inclusion prevents Violence”, in the sense of “projects of appraisal” (Böhnisch, 2007) viii.
