ANOTHER INTERESTING OPPORTUNITY

Dear Youth Workers from Belarus!

Our friends from Loesje Armenia and Loesje Finland are URGENTLY looking for participants for the Training Course “Today I am neither man or woman but a magic fish” in Dilijan, Armenia which is gonna happen on 22th-28th of October, 2012!

The travel costs are about 300 euros, 70% will be reimbursed.

Please, read the description below & contact Anna, coordinator in Armenia, via a.hairapetian4@gmail.com if interested.

The theme of the training is gender equality among youth. The objectives of the training are to question prevailing gender norms that exist in our different backgrounds, to try new understandings,
link the question to other categories of discrimination and to find ways of spreading the adequate methods to reach gender equality according to our local contexts. We will deal also with the question
of norm around gender, but also other norms, which are closely linked with gender. These other norms are class, sexuality or ethnicity. All of these other categories change the conditions for a person, not only gender. Therefore, if we want freedom and peace for all, we need to also take these other categories of oppression in consideration when we study the question of gender inequality. In this matter, we will take a closer look at the term intersectionality”, a concept used more frequently by NGO's. We aim to do this through non-formal educational methods and discussions about the situations in our countries. We expect the participants to bring back new ideas and ways to combat
gender inequality to their organizations and to mainstream it in their daily work with youth.
