Make Gender Equity Reality!

The main activity is a 9-day training course for 24+3 trainers youth workers that will take place in St. Maarten. During this week we will explore meanings, roles, and complementarities of different
educational approaches and methods regarding gender issues, stereotypes, and discrimination. The first two days we will have a focus on getting to know each other, create a safe and non-formal environment useful for learning, understand the participant's background, expectations and fears and get into the topic.

Objectives for this training course are directed to 24 youth workers, that are going to participate in this project, and furthermore, pass their knowledge and teach skills they gained to others:

1. During the 10 months of the project, 24 youth workers that will participate will understand and gain knowledge about the role, importance, and possibilities of NFE methods in their work with youth by using drama methods regarding gender equality.
2. By taking part in a project 24 youth workers will improve, explore meanings, roles, and
complementarities of different educational approaches and methods (formal, nonformal, informal) by implementing and practicing non-formal regarding gender issues.
3. During 10 months of the project, participants will understand the principles of NFE and its effects on elements as program building. We will also teach and stimulate the participants to feel and reflect on the power of Non- Formal Education and drama by experiencing different kinds of educational methods in regard to gender identity and gender issues.

Led by three experienced trainers with a background in both youth work and Erasmus+ projects, the training will be exclusively based on non-formal education and drama methods. This approach aims to help participants achieve their objectives, improve their youth work practices, and inspire them to integrate more innovative methods into their work. Join us for an enriching experience that combines theory with hands-on application, empowering you to make a lasting impact in your youth work endeavors.
