Let’s tackle aporophobia together: join our WEBINAR from formal and non-formal learning spaces
Aporophobia — hostility towards people who are poor or excluded — continues to shape everyday interactions, opportunities and safety across Europe.
In response to this growing challenge, we are opening a shared space for reflection through a public online webinar focused on how to address aporophobia from both formal and non-formal learning environments.
Young people grow up in environments where biases can take hold early, where stigma can be reproduced unconsciously, and where discrimination often goes unnoticed unless someone names it and teaches how to recognise it.
💻 Online webinar: learn and act
In this public online webinar, we will explore:
– Aporophobia as a social phenomenon
– Its impact on young people
– Practical strategies for formal and non-formal learning spaces
📅 Event details and registration
– Date: Monday, 20 April
– Time: 11:00–12:00 (CET)
– Format: Online
Places are limited — don’t wait to reserve yours.
🧠 Why education matters
Both classrooms and non-formal learning spaces (youth programmes, community centres, social education initiatives, extracurricular groups…) are powerful environments to transform that reality.
These spaces help young people build empathy, critical thinking and a sense of social responsibility. Working on aporophobia with youth means:
– Preventing discrimination before it occurs
– Strengthening safer and fairer communities
– Encouraging compassion and inclusion
Thanks to the support of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Spain, we are expanding our educational efforts internationally by presenting the English version of our Educational Guide Against Aporophobia.
A practical, adaptable resource for: educators, youth workers, social organisations and anyone committed to equality and human rights.
🎯 Who is it for & what to expect
This webinar is designed for teachers, youth workers, NGOs, universities, community educators, public administrations, and anyone committed to reducing discrimination and strengthening the rights and dignity of young people.
During the session, participants will explore aporophobia as a social phenomenon and its impact on young people, while also engaging with practical tools, activities and strategies to address it in both formal and non-formal learning settings.
We will present the guide and open a space for reflection and exchange on how education — in all its forms — can become a frontline to prevent aporophobia.
Don’t forget — places are limited, so be sure to save your spot.
