Objectives

The broad objective of Crossing Borders is to increase the possibilities for a just and lasting world peace with a special focus on conflict zones. To this end, Crossing Borders provides impartial dialogue space and skills training in intercultural communication, conflict management and media for the empowerment of youth, educators and media people to become full players in the present and future development processes of their societies.
 
In order to reach our objectives we involve ourselves in international projects targeting youth, educators and media people, and we cooperate with both Danish and international organizations and institutions in an effort to create the biggest impact and reach as many people as possible.

Target Group 

• Youth who want to make a positive difference in their own life and surroundings
• Young journalists and media students who want to develop and apply cultural, conflict and gender-sensitive media attitudes and skills in their media work
• Educators and social science teachers who are interested in developing their intercultural competences to share and transfer diversity values to their pupils/students, institutions and communities.
