Trough project we introduced concepts and activities to build young people awareness and provide them with tools which can be used to mobilise young people around to work for gender equality. Fairy tales were used as patterns for focusing on identifying and tackling gender stereotypes and reducing gender-based violence.All original objectives of the project were met. We planned everything upfront and connected every activity to a goal and objectives and that is why it was very successful.Achieved results during the project contributed to achievement of the objectives described in the project application. Participants improved their knowledge, competences and skills and increased their awareness on the topics. Through creative means we explored issues of borders and violence and also to change patterns of behavior like low motivation and antisocial behavior.Selected methods and tools respond in the proper way to reach of the objectives.
