As a result with this YE, we hoped to engage young people in a conversation on gender equality and gender roles in their social surroundings. We wanted to confront our young people with alternative perspectives on the role of man & woman in present and historical Europe. We hoped to accomplish the following with this strategy of merging gender equality with outdoor education: -Identify and address frequent kinds of discrimination against women. -To experience that a new society based on gender equality is possible -To challenge the perception of the structures within our society that undermine social inclusion or foster discrimination -To create follow-up initiatives that promote gender equality in the sending communities -To foster a gender-sensitive understanding of currently existing societal models and their inherent forms of discrimination -Bridging the gap between religious preconceptions -To develop a more comprehensive knowledge of what prejudice entails and to initiate intercultural & religious conversation. We placed a strong emphasis on the instructional dimension of outdoor education in a non-formal educational context in order to effect positive social change: the exchange was based on non-formal education principles and practice, taking into account participants' needs, motivations and experiences. A range of strategies was employed to allow participants with various learning styles to participate and to maintain a balance between theory and practice. Many useful manuals for Non-Formal Education were used. We created a variety of photo and video content supporting equality at the end of the YE, which is shared across Europe via social media platforms.
