Stages of Inclusion (SOI) is a youth exchange addressing gender inequality and the barriers faced by women, particularly migrant women, in social, cultural, and professional participation.

The project provides a safe, intercultural, and participatory space where young people can critically reflect on these realities and use the performing arts as a tool for learning, dialogue, and empowerment. Through creative processes based on body, movement, and artistic expression, participants will explore migration, diversity, and inclusion.

Objectives:
- Promote gender equality and social inclusion among youth.
- Strengthen participants’ capacity for expression, active participation, and leadership.
- Foster intercultural dialogue and critical understanding of social inequalities.
- Generate online artistic and educational resources for replication by other youth and organizations.

Expected Outcomes:
- Development of key competences: communication, teamwork, creativity, and critical thinking.
- Empowerment of young women and migrant participants to share experiences and engage actively in their communities.
- Production of online resources for wider dissemination.
- Strengthened capacities of participating organizations in youth empowerment, inclusion, and gender equality.
