A01. Empowerment in youth health and rights
Human rights education for young people from an earlier age, including within the family, schools, and community, is the key to addressing racial prejudices, attitudes, and behaviours which perpetuate racism in order to promote tolerance and respect for diversity and inclusion in society. Human rights education is a determining factor in the promotion and protection of the democratic values of justice and equity, which are essential to prevent and combat the spread of racism, racial discrimination, and intolerance. Youth work plays an important role in the elimination of illiteracy about racism through non-formal human rights education which contributes to inclusivity, diversity, equity, and peaceful coexistence among cultures, groups, and individuals.
The main prerequisite for combating racism is recognising that this problem exists. Being aware of this, strengthens young people's capability to shed light on the increasingly and widespread racist narratives in daily interpersonal exchanges that play a fundamental, yet contradictory role in the production, reproduction, and perpetuation of racism within European societies. In the everyday lives of white people, the conversations about refugees, immigrants, and racial affairs in general serve to express and persuasively convey racial prejudices, attitudes, and discrimination based on their common-sense interpretations of racist events they have no actual knowledge or experience about.
So, this leaves society faced with significant challenges: enforcing actions against racism in an environment increasingly affected by the discourse of racial discrimination, since racial prejudices and discriminatory behaviours are pre-formulated by white people and institutions, especially in politics and the media. White people’s direct contacts of and experiences about racism, if any, are in many cases based on occasional tells or short encounters with racial minorities, refugees, or migrants in public places or on the job, or more often so, they may derive them from conversations with other whites and especially from the mass media.
In a European context, Internalised Racism makes its biggest impacts on young adolescent refugees and migrants of African descent who yet do not have any context for understanding the injustices of society, but rather personalise racial prejudices and negative stereotypes that are coming at them without having a framework for understanding racism and racial discrimination. Thus, this calls on setting up learning environments in which the cultures and values of young adult refugees and migrants are cherished, in order to help them understand internalised racism as a result of racism and racial discrimination to make sense of racist acts and mistreatment they experience or witness, rather than blaming themselves or those in their refugee community for it.
