This project was designed to equip educators to better include LGBTIQ+ young people within non-formal education settings, and to equip them to tackle the issues and face the challenges that such inclusion efforts encounter. The project started from a premise of recognition that young people who are LGBTIQ+ face stigma, discrimination and violence because of their perceived or actual sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, or because their bodies differ from typical definitions of female or male. The Rainbow Youth project was designed to transfer specific competences about LGBTIQ+ people to youth workers both working and not working directly with LGBTIQ+ youth and to promote the inclusion of LGBTIQ+ youth through the creation of understanding and inclusive youth work experiences and spaces. The specific objectives of the project were: 1.To provide the necessary competences to include a positive approach to Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity and Expression and/or Sec Characteristics (SOGIESC) in youth work practice. 2.To explore the specificities and challenges of working with LGBTIQ+ young people in Education settings and in European activities. 3.To look at the difficulties that LGBTIQ+ young people face and how practitioners can became facilitators for positive change or growth. 4.To provide a framework of action and a series of tools to challenge discrimination on the basis of SOGIESC. 5.To offer a space for inquiry and personal growth of participants. 6.To raise awareness and acceptance of LGBTIQ+ people across the European Union 7.To reach citizens, foster diversity and nondiscrimination 8.To support key actors responsible to promote and advance equal rights for LGBTIQ+ people in the EU 9.To use Erasmus+ programme as a tool to carry out projects that promote LGBTIQ+ Rights, Human Rights and equality.
