Objectives

Human rights education and inclusion of vulnerable groups, is a never ending process. Loesje e.V. is an organisation that constantly works on improvement conditions through empowerment, support, creative youth work and new possibilities for people, who come from vulnerable discriminated groups, as LGBTIQ* (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans*, Inter* Queer* where the * includes all different identities) migrants, refugees, Roma, people with fewer opportunities. Following statistics, being in touch with the LGBTIQ* community we noticed the need of tools and methods for support and inclusion of the young LGBTIQ* people. After several meetings with the interested partners, we developed the project “Who is director of your gender role”, who aimed to equip youth workers, teachers, activists, organisations with creative tools and methods for empowerment and inclusion of the LGBTIQ* people. Through structured planning for participants we hosted people from the LGBTIQ* community and people who work with them to exchange information, learn from each other and create new tools and methods for empowerment and support of the LGBTIQ* community. We made a “reality check” from participating countries from the EU, Caucasus, the Balkans and MENA region in order to see differences, similarities and to find common ways of support. The objectives of this project were: - to raise awareness about the realities that LGBTIQ* face and the importance of their inclusion and empowerment - to learn and exchange different creative, innovative and digital tools and methods for quality youth work - to use Erasmus+ program as opportunity for active inclusion of LGBTIQ* youth The special objective of this project is: - to suggest concrete strategies for activism
