Project Summary

Young people from three EU countries (Italy, Croatia, Spain) have found that in order to expand the scope of their voluntary work need knowledge and skills on the useful use of ICT technologies. Even though most of them use it on a daily basis, we’ve found that they are not being used outside of personal use as a tool for social change or career advancement.
Since partner organizations use ICT technologies in their work and provide a great deal of information and advice to young people about sexual orientation, sexual identity, safe sex and reproductive rights through new technologies, we have designed a project that will enable group of 5 young people (1mentor and 4participants aged from 18 to 30) from each country to have opportunity to connect and get new knowledge in ICT technologies (making infographics). This knowledge would then be used in the preparation of activities related to informing the general public about safe sex, sexual identity and sexual orientation, aimed primarily at young people. Croatia, Italy and Spain are in the same level with sexual education. There is no systematic implementation of education for youth and it is still taboo in public. On the other side young people are then left to learn about sexuality from internet and other media, which is mostly misleading. As we are all part of European union, and we face same problems, we will join together in order to share experiences and act together toward positive change. This will also contribute to rising awareness of EU citizenship among participants.

Group of participants will make small research of sexual education in their countries (three researchers- one in each country), publish results, and make infographics with informations in the field of sexual education in order to inform their peers on the topic which is taboo in all three countries. The final event in each country will show to the public what was done during the project.

Participants will have support of mentors, but will carry out planned activities by themselves. We will include Blended learning – one 7 days training in Croatia including topic of sexual education and 4 online sessions with topic of how to make research, how to make infographics and how to use platforms for creations of infographics.

General objective:
Raise awareness and informing among youth in the field of sex education and providing them support in taking initiative.

Aims:
To create international network of young people from partner countries who will act together in informing young people about safe sex, gender identities and sexual orientations, and in sharing knowledge, experiences and examples of good practices.
Rise awareness among young people of safe sex, gender identities, gender equality and sexual orientation.
Straighten civil society and promote active participation among youth.
Empower and support young people to carry out their own initiatives.
