Acceptance in E(motion)

The project consists of 3 phases (participants will be obliged to take part in ALL of them):

1. Training course - August 5-15, 2022 Toruń, Poland

2. Follow-up activities in participants' local communities (August - October 2022)

3. Evaluation meeting - October 7-10, 2022, near Warsaw, Poland (the exct venue will be know soon).

By the end of Phase 1, 27 youth workers will increase their knowledge and awareness on emotional intelligence and how it can be used to prevent gender based violence. They will gain a pragmatic understanding of what actions they can take to address and prevent GBV and toxic masculinity in their local contexts, and develop visions for how to implement their own youth development program on the local level that addresses GBV and gender stereotypes.

By the end of Phase 2, 27 youth workers will have put into practice their project visions for change developed during Phase 1, with youth from their local community. They will gain practical experience and skills tackling GBV in their local environment by designing and implementing their own educational programmes on emotional intelligence.

By the end of Phase 3, 27 youth workers will have worked collaboratively with youth in their communities to evaluate their educational program. They will gain confidence in their abilities as GBV activists, emotional intelligence educators, and local community project managers. In turn, they will be more likely to develop next steps of how to affect more change on the local level following the project.
