Project description:
Forms of gender discrimination are diverse and differ in their severity. With this youth exchange, we would like to engage in a dialogue with young people about gender equality & gender roles in their social environment. We would like to challenge our young people with different perceptions of the role of man & woman in modern Europe & in its past. We see outdoor education as an extremely powerful tool for development, especially within international communities, it reflects on different values & can create a bridge between different social groups forming better mutual understanding.
Project Objectives:
- To foster a gender-sensitive understanding of currently existing societal models & its inherent forms of discrimination;
- To experience that a new society based on gender equality is possible;
- To Challenge the perception of the structures within our society that undermine social inclusion or foster discrimination;
- To create follow-up initiatives that promote gender equality in the sending communities Overcoming the stereotypes of different religious;
- To build a broader understanding of what discrimination means & to start an intercultural & inter-religious dialogue;
Expected Participants:
youth workers, young leaders, youth who are already active but aim to develop as youth leaders, concretely in the sphere of Gender equality, discrimination and understand concept Outdoor Education as a tool of non-formal education.
