Recent developments in gender issues – from an increased awareness of trans rights to female equality and ‘lad’ culture – have brought a range of gender identities into the mainstream. At the same time new generation has a far more fluid approach to gender than has previously been seen. The problem is that our society but also and youth workers have difficult to keep up with these rapid developments. As a result, their provision, facilities and policies are not always set up to offer a welcoming environment for the range of gender identities that may now look to engage with their services. Gender identity includes the norms and values which affects individuals during the socialization process. This gender identity also defines, in terms of symbolic and cultural codes, the field of possibilities for individual expressions, life choices and actions. Moreover gender identity construction plays a important role in the symbolic representation. The symbolic representation is based on unwritten constructions of social roles of women and men. The attribution of differentiated gender roles in the private and public spheres have severe consequences on individuals opportunities to be their fully potential. Moreover, an intersectional understanding of gender inequality is essential. The concept of intersectionality aims to highlight the connection with multiple inequalities such as ethnicity, class, nationality, sexuality, age, (dis)ability etc and processes of discrimination.. In this training course we wanted to explore the connection between the meaning of the personal gender and the social field where we co-exist everyday. What influence has the society on the fully potential of individuals in the way they want to be? And furthermore why is gender equality so difficult to tackle?
