Aims & objectives

STAGED! Struggling Against Gender-based Discrimination through Youth Work in EU and Asia is a Capacity Building project implemented by Lunaria, thanks to the support of the Erasmus+ Program, which took place from the 1st of January 2017 to the 30thof August 2018.
The project was the third step (after Jambo in Eastern Africa and Pandora's Box in Latin America) of Lunaria's medium-term strategy aimed to explore gender issues, with a European and worldwide perspective, enhancing women empowerment and gender equity by developing new tools and working methods within the youth work.
In the three projects, the cooperation with European organizations was very important: indeed, it ensured a cross-sectorial and intercultural approach to gender issues and favored the development of global competences and methods to fight gender-based discrimination.

Training methods used & main activities

This methodology was part of a pedagogical package, including NFE, videos, and graphic facilitation.
