Gender stereotypes continue to exist even today at all levels of society and for all age groups, particularly children come into contact with early gender stereotypes through TV series, advertising, picture books and other education and training material that somehow affect their perception of how male and female should behave. Thus, AMFI is promoting an exchange program for young people around gender based non-discrimination and equal opportunities for men and women for 60 participants between 14 and 30 years old.

The aim is to promote rights, equality and the values of non-discrimination. The project wants to achieve these goals through innovative methods and non-formal education, pushing the beneficiaries of this project to think about and assess whether the rights of girls and boys are equally guaranteed and dispelling some myths about what men, women, children and teenagers can or cannot do.

The project involves an exchange between young people from the following countries: Italy, Ukraine, Czech Republic, Greece, Serbia, Romania, Macedonia. Mobility will for 10 days and will take place in Italy. The project activities will begin from the month of June 2016. The training activities imply the fulfillment of reading workshops, artistic and manual activities - from cooking to engineering - which will have as main theme that of non-discrimination and of equal opportunities for boys and girls. The experience will be certified by the project leader in cooperation with the whole partnership through the Youth Pass.
