ERASMUS+ Youth Exchange - Dangerous Intentions Project - 2023-1-NL02-KA152-YOU-0002439918
SUMMARY:
Violence Against Women (VAW) and gender inequality are highly important issues that need to be talked about in Europe and beyond. The goal of this youth exchange is to help young people reflect on how these social issues play a role in their own lives, and in different parts of the world, re-evaluate their own stereotypes and exchange learning and ideas.
The project's main aim is to raise awareness and create discussions through NFE methods (interactive workshops, role-playing simulations, acting, debating, teamwork, games, etc) about the different forms of violence against women, its differences between countries, consequences, and how to discuss the topic while supporting victims and survivors.
Activities will include:
- Exploration (based on discussion) of gender equality and Violence Against Women for each country;
- Personal reflection on the topic of VAW, and experience of gender inequality;
- World Cafe talks to learn about different ideas and experiences about VAW and gender inequality;
- Searching for solutions through theater workshops;
- Exploring media’s influence on violence against women;
- Creation of social media campaigns/products/videos to spread what the youth explored during the YE.
