Objectives

The objectives of the project were: - To equip youth workers with competences and methods for their professional development in addressing the needs of young people, particularly by being able to create primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention. - To share innovative theories, educational approaches, and tools that youth workers could use to improve their work with young people. - To promote gender equality, inclusion, diversity, wellbeing, and a sense of initiative among young people. - To increase youth workers’ motivation and inspiration to work further with youth. - To establish a network around the EU of youth workers practicing and promoting sexual violence prevention. - To create a cascading effect by developing sustainable follow-up actions targeting youth workers with fewer opportunities. By providing youth workers with competences to deliver primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention of sexual harassment in their activities, we are aiming to: - Decrease the number of young people becoming victims or remaining permanently traumatized, and therefore falling or staying in marginalized groups and under discrimination. - Decrease the number of perpetrators by sensitizing young people towards the negative impact their behaviors could have on others, teaching respect and positive alternatives to their intentions. - Increase active participation as well as civil engagement of young people by providing them with information on the topic, which was the main reason why bystanders didn't intervene, and by training them to be active bystanders. - Open discussion on the topic that had been a burning question, yet ignored since the full existence of youth work. Increased the well-being and sustainability of youth work.
