This project is created as a response to the prevalence of gender-based violence (GBV) - a violence against a person because of their gender - and the need for active, focused and constantly-improving methods for youth work to combat it. For many years, youth work organisations and communities in our countries (LA, IT, ES, BG and GE) have been active in prevention through educating young people on equal rights, tolerance and understanding, as well as supporting them through their personal trials and obstacles - not only directly, but also through building support network and safer spaces for them. However, we see several areas of concern that can be addressed in order to maximize our contribution to preventing rising gender based violence towards youth, through the improvement of youth workers’ knowledge, available strategies, as well as competences. Addressing those areas is the objective of this proposal: - Lack of recognition and wide visibility of the best methods in the field of youth work leads to little to no exchange between working, tested practices, creating a need for everyone to devise their own methods from the ground up, instead of building on and improving on existing techniques. - There is insufficient social dialogue about gender based violence and how it affects young people. This makes the work of youth workers in this field even more difficult, and creates additional stereotypes and wrongful ideas, which need to be combated, also through the help of structured dialogue, which includes policy makers. This project aims to unite the youth workers from the participating countries, equip them with already existing and tested knowledge and practical abilities on fighting gender based violence and open new opportunities for future collaboration. Our long-term beneficiaries are young people, as well as individuals, which have suffered from gender based violence. The improved competences of the youth workers will act as a safety net for them, and will improve the care and support they receive.
