The Cambridge dictionary defines a STEREOTYPE as a “set idea that people have about what someone or something is like, especially an idea that is wrong”.Surely you have traveled outside your country in your life or even met and dealt with people of different nationalities, ethnicities and backgrounds, in your city or in the places you normally go to. Part of the benefits of Erasmus+ programme is to appreciate the diversity between cultures by overcoming stereotypes and preconceptions. Through these activities we would like to help you to better understand the stereotypes that exist in different countries, but also to push you towards an understanding of the founding concepts of the European Union, to fight racism, intolerance and discrimination.
