Mission & Approach
The project equips a new generation of youth workers and peer educators with creative, ethical, and impactful methods to address gender-based discrimination and violence. Through non-formal education, participants learn how to facilitate safe dialogue, challenge stereotypes, and support human-rights-based community action.
Core Innovation
A central feature is the “My Story” virtual platform — a digital gallery that showcases diverse stories of women to challenge harmful narratives and raise awareness at scale. The platform is designed to support learning, visibility, and advocacy through curated storytelling content.
Key Activities
- International training courses to build partner capacities and align methodologies.
- Local workshops for 120 participants to test and deploy storytelling approaches in communities.
- Creation of an educational toolkit introducing new methodologies, including “Photography as a method for storytelling”.
- Awareness-raising campaigns combining local and digital actions to reach wider audiences.
Expected Impact
- Train 24 youth workers to become multipliers in their organizations and communities.
- Reach thousands through workshops, campaigns, and digital dissemination.
- Strengthen a sustainable international network of young leaders advocating for equality and inclusion.
- Contribute to global gender equality goals by empowering vulnerable youth to engage in democratic life.
