Youth workers have the great responsibility of being mentors, role figures, facilitators of learning processes which can be sensitive and challenging. In international youth work, bringing together an intercultural group of young people can present various challenges: conflicts, clashes of different cultures and views. Even if youth workers are experienced, they may lack the knowledge, tools and resources to tackle more sensitive (taboo) topics and Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR). In our work with young people we notice a significant unmet need for information and education on SRHR, thus we would like to create a learning environment for youth workers where they could develop their competences in this field and start gathering resources for peace curriculum development linking the areas of gender, sexuality, and human rights. The TC will address the youth workers dilemmas such as: - How do youth workers address the issue of consent in a group of young people? - Do youth workers understand how gender roles or other cultural norms play a role in the dynamics of the groups? - How peace education activities can support the promotion of SRHR? Do they need to? - Where youth workers can find resources on SRHR if needed? The Youth Peace Ambassadors Network (YPAN) works on developing a culture of peace by empowering young people, promoting human rights, dignity, equality and respect of diversity through education, advocacy and other non- violent actions through projects at local and international level. The YPA Network is very experienced in promoting local and international peace building activities by young people around Europe. Though youth work, YPAN has tackled issues of gender equality, discrimination, hate speech and much more. As YPAN, we feel the need to tackle health promotion and SRHR in youth work, as an interdisciplinary domain in our activities. The aim of the project: The aim of the TC is to foster critical thinking and equip youth workers, trainers and youth leaders with competences and tools to address challenges of young people in the field of sexual and reproductive rights by developing set of resources linking the areas of gender, sexuality, and human rights to be further used in the peace education in Europe. The objectives are: ● to explore and analyse existing sexual and reproductive rights issues in Europe and build a clear picture on how those challenges are impacting youth and peace education including obstacles to access health services, information, education and discrimination; ● to create safe space for youth workers to develop skill of critical thinking needed to build compassionate and just societies by exploring power dynamics, gender inequalities and violence linked to SHRH and peace education; ● To develop the capacity of young people to multiply knowledge and skills to advocate for their rights to dignity, equality, and responsible, satisfying, and healthy sexual lives; ● to increase the competences of youth workers in the field of raising awareness on gender equality and SRHR; ● to provide youth workers with resources and tools to include SRHR in their work in human rights and peace education as a way to prevent violence and develop culture of peace; ● To establish working group to develop set of resources for peace curriculum development linking the areas of gender, sexuality, and human rights; ● to develop the guidelines for youth organisations in the fields of SRHR in peace education (or projects). The guidelines aim to be evidence-based, comprehensive, user-friendly, based on YPAN core values, gender- sensitive and culturally appropriate.
