Young European people from Estonia, Spain, Armenia, Italy and Poland will gather in a friendly and
non-formal atmosphere to analyze and
discuss the existed gender inequalities. This work will be especially
fruitful by the confrontation with other cultures from Europe, which will help
to reflect and put things into
perspectives from their own societal expectations, see the strengths and
weaknesses of their cultures on gender roles and gender equality, discuss and
learn from each other’s history and cultural realities, in order to break
stereotypes in an intercultural
perspective.
This project will include many
activities based on non-formal and informal education with games, simulation,
workshops, debate, outdoors activities, cultural production of social
advertisement, meeting the community and making interviews and so on.
