Training without stereotypes

Description

TWOST is aimed at preventing gender based discrimination towards youth. The project addresses in particular a cross-sectorial cooperation, allowing for greater synergies across all fields of actions concerning young people, with a special focus on access to rights, autonomy, participation –including e-participation– and the active citizenship of young people, avoiding gender self-segregation phenomena and promoting common values of mutual respect between genders and without prejudice to their sexuality.Social inclusion of young people with fewer opportunities is the main connecting point of this project with the realities of young people with fewer opportunities around Europe. One of the main obstacles for social inclusion are stereotypes. In the field of academia, stereotyping is an important concept in contemporary sociology and social psychology.The target groups of this project are youth workers, young people victims of stereotypes based and gender-based violence, young people with fewer opportunities, young women, young people with a migrant background, asylum-seekers, refugees, LGBTIQ persons, ethnic minorities (including Roma people), women with disabilities, women living and/or working on the street.The overall goal of the project is to strengthen the prevention and support the fight against stereotypes and gender violence among young people in Europe through piloting of digital innovative resources and inclusion of young people with fewer opportunities. The specific objectives of the project are:1•To promote Stereotypes and Gender Equality Awareness, and to reduce unconscious bias in particular through research on existing studies, tools and methods2•To develop and disseminate non-formal education practical tools for youth workers in the field of identification and prevention of stereotypes and gender-based violence.3•To strengthen the role of youth workers in the fight against stereotypes and gender discrimination4•To promote social inclusion and active citizenship of the socially excluded young people on a European levelThe project will be based on a multi-sectoral and multi-disciplinary approach that will initiate cooperation and capacity building for youth organisation and youth workers that are working and are, in direct contact with these groups to ensure timely and effective protection and support.
