Through the project and its 13 implemented activities (9 job shadowings, 1 training course for youth workers, 1 seminar, and 2 youth exchanges), we addressed five key goals defined within our Erasmus+ accreditation: The inclusion, information, education, and empowerment of LGBTIQ+ youth in youth activities; The education of youth workers and other professionals working with young people to create safe and inclusive environments for LGBTIQ+ youth; Creating opportunities for young people to engage independently, creatively, and sustainably in society; Strengthening the capacities of our organization, particularly in strategic planning, project management, cooperation with European partners, and quality assurance in youth work; Developing and reinforcing the youth sector in Slovenia by introducing intersectional and inclusive approaches and increasing the visibility of the needs of young people with fewer opportunities. By creating a safe space and using non-formal education methods, we enabled LGBTIQ+ youth to explore their identities, exchange experiences, and connect with peers from across Europe. The activities allowed young people to learn in environments where they felt accepted, supported, and encouraged to engage actively in society. For many LGBTIQ+ young people participation in international activities provided the first experience of living in a community free from homophobia, biphobia, or transphobia, significantly boosting their self-confidence, sense of belonging, and personal development. They engaged with topics that matter deeply to them – exploring gender through art and cyberbullying and online hate speech transformation. The project also strengthened support mechanisms for LGBTIQ+ youth who often face multiple layers of exclusion and intersectional discrimination – not only based on their sexual orientation or gender identity but also due to the experience of racism, economic insecurity, mental health challenges, migrant backgrounds, or any other circumstance of marginalisation. Through participation in activities, young people developed skills that will help them navigate everyday life challenges, enter the labour market, and engage in civil society. The project also focused on training those who work with young people – including our own staff, partner organizations, and a broader circle of youth workers. Through job shadowings, the seminar, and the training course, we contributed to increasing knowledge about LGBTIQ+ inclusion, intersectionality, and the creation of safe spaces and support mechanisms for young people from marginalized groups – on both peer and strategic/structural levels. We applied non-formal education methods based on experiential learning, case studies and best practice examples, co-creation, and reflection, thereby strengthening the ability of youth organizations to recognize and respond to the needs of all young people. Beyond the individual impact on LGBTIQ+ young people and professionals working with LGBTIQ+ youth, the project also contributed to the long-term development of our organization – both in terms of content and structure. We strengthened our capacities in strategic planning, international cooperation, quality assurance, and support for participants with fewer opportunities. At the same time, we contributed to the development of the youth sector in Slovenia – especially in the fields of inclusion, anti-discrimination, creating support communities, and strengthening volunteerism. We believe that youth work can significantly contribute to empowering LGBTIQ+ youth to become active members of society and agents of positive change. By offering them the opportunity to take initiative, develop projects, and build communities of solidarity, we support growth that goes beyond the timeframe of any individual project. By involving participants in all phases of the activities from planning to evaluation we fostered participation and enabled them to develop their own initiatives. In this, youth exchanges played a crucial role, especially those focused on exploring gender through art and cyberbullying, where participants used collaboration, creativity, and reflection to develop concrete promotion tools for their peers - like videos, prepared and implemented a drag show, and forged international bonds of solidarity.
