Project Summary

The project aims to empower different target groups (Youth, youth workers, educators, grassroot activits) and provide them with new competences to increase women participation in the society by developing practical tools to tackle gender-based issues through non-formal Learning methodologies. As a fact, the project will raise awareness in the different local communities about gender issues and the importance of promoting young women empowerment in the EU and SouthMed countries and discovering the cultural and social effect in the two regions.We will start from the researches and analysis done about the local situation in the involved countries in term of Gender equality rate. Then we’ll develop a training course for youth workers on gender sensitivity, where we plan to build capacity of youth workers and educators in order to favour the participation of young women in the society and the public sphere. This will be followed by the youth activities where the knowledge and competences acquired during the training will be shared with the young people during the workshops that will be held in cooperation with our Local Partners to give an institutional frame and recognition for our project in addition to a long lasting effect.After this phase, we’ll organise the Youth Exchange that will provide a space of sharing realities and challenges in the different communities represented by youth coming from marginalized regions in order to reflect together in finding solutions and ways to break stereotypes and prejudices using intercultural tools to increase the mutual understanding between the different cultures, background and religions. During the last phase of the youth exchange, we’ll start the production of the video for the Online campaign that aims to advocate the women rights for equality and empowerment in different sectors and fields (Society, Education, Family, Public sector and Political involvement..) and that will be largely shared among participants, partner organisations, their local partners and institutions, ect.For the entire duration of the project we expect to use methodologies based on non-formal education methods stimulating active participation, self-reflection, creativity, ‘learning by doing’ process.. The project will result also a Board Game called “WomenOnBoard” where we want to put different female figures that marked the History of the Humanity and get to know them in addition to other facts that praise women achievement around the world as a source of inspiration and role models for other youth.Through this project, we aim also to foster cooperation and exchanges in the field of youth and women empowerment between Programme Countries and Partner Countries from Tunisia and SouthMed region.
