Our project, under the auspices of Erasmus+, focused on dismantling gender stereotypes and fostering an environment of mutual respect and understanding. We aimed to empower young individuals from diverse backgrounds by providing them with the tools and knowledge to challenge societal norms and advocate for equality.
It take place in Hotel Preslav, Golden Sands, Varna, Bulgaria on 29.08-4.09 There was 40 participants between 18-30 years old (8 from each county) from Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Italy and Poland.
The heart of our project was our participants – dynamic young individuals aged between 18 and 30, along with experienced group leaders. Emphasizing gender balance, we ensured an equal representation of all genders. Our selection process, based on motivation, potential, and eagerness to learn, prioritized inclusivity, especially for those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
Innovative Activities and Methods Our activities ranged from interactive workshops, cultural exchanges, and outdoor activities to creating short films and informational materials on gender equality. We utilized participatory methods, encouraging active involvement and personal contributions, which fostered a deeper understanding of the topics.
Promoting Reflection and Personal Growth Each day concluded with introspective sessions where participants reflected on their learnings and experiences. This approach not only solidified their understanding but also enhanced their social, creative, and public speaking skills.
