Project Methodology
The methodology involves combining an online and on-site strategy of education, awareness raising, learning and exchange, with local and trans-national coalition- and strategy-building for improving community measures against anti- Semitism and other forms of intolerance. Firmly grounding the action in current research findings, the initial part of the project will provide a baseline mapping, needs assessment and evaluation of past and existing projects in Europe addressing this topic, informing the implementation of all succeeding project activities; through desk and practitioner research, continuous monitoring and analysing anti-Semitic hate speech; and stakeholder mapping, outreach and strategic networking, ensuring their involvement in the project activities.
The quality of the implementation will be enhanced by the BOND Advisory Board, who will be tasked with external monitoring and guiding the implementation, and strengthen the thematic expertise among the consortium members. The Quality Assurance, Monitoring and Evaluation Plan (QAMEP), in addition to providing clear ethical guidelines and a risk-management strategy, will guide the continuous monitoring and evaluation of project results according to the set timeline, indicators, deliverables and expected results.
The strategy involves exploiting in-depth educational and capacity training for youth and teachers, and interactive learning, exchange, and empowering youth to become multipliers and effective communicators of testimonial-based counter-narratives (WP3). The collaborative and interactive approach will be integrated in the dialogue sessions and roundtables, to ensure maximum engagement and contributions among participants, and a more effective strategy- and coalition-building, that will more likely be sustained after completion of the project (WP4). In order to maximise our reach in the implementing partners’ localities, the cultural festivals will be coordinated alongside other local initiatives, organisations and stakeholders to maximise reach and impact (WP5).
The online strategy involves platform development and integration, trainings, learning resources, testimonies and other useful tools for practitioners. All partners, with SYNYO, as lead of WP5, will be responsible for ensuring the integration and dissemination of the project’s deliverables into other EU and local projects, both during and at the conclusion of the project, to enhance sustainability and multiplication. This robust use of lessons learned, continuous monitoring and evaluation, targeted outreach and recruitment, capacity building, both internally among partners, and externally with the target groups, and creation of dedicated online tools and e-learning materials will enable effective impact of the project outputs, and improve transferability and European-wide impact of the project.
