Virtual Mosaic

Aim

The main aim of Virtual Mosaic is to create safe, structured online spaces where young people from different cultures can meet, listen to each other and work together, while building the digital skills they need to recognize misinformation, hate speech and biased content.

Objectives

• Promote intercultural dialogue and EU–South Mediterranean cooperation through regular, moderated virtual exchanges.
• Strengthen digital and media literacy so young people can identify stereotypes, polarizing narratives and online hate.
• Increase inclusion and participation by reaching young people with fewer opportunities and giving them a voice in an international learning setting.
• Train and support facilitators (youth workers, educators, university staff) to run high-quality online dialogue sessions.
• Show young people’s narratives in a common, digital “mosaic” that reflects the diversity of our regions.

What is the “mosaic”?

The “mosaic” is both a metaphor and a product:

• A metaphor for bringing together voices, cultures, languages and experiences that are different, but that can form one meaningful picture when placed side by side;
• A product in the form of online stories, short videos, micro-learning units and dialogue outcomes that will be collected and made visible by all partners on their websites and channels.

Each virtual exchange will add a new “tile” to this mosaic — a testimony, a joint activity, a short reflection, or a youth-created digital piece.

Who is it for?

• University students and young people in Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Jordan and Palestine
• Youth workers and educators who want practical tools for online dialogue
• Organizations working on inclusion, media literacy, intercultural and inter-religious dialogue
