Gender is a contested topic in Europe. It’s also a timely topic amidst changing gender norms and more inclusive gender identities. These oppositions and opportunities make gender issues key in the field of youth. This training on gender issues is online.
The aim of this online training course is to provide a basic understanding about contemporary gender issues, as well as provide clear links in between gender equality, human rights education and youth work. Also, the training aims to provide useful tools and methods for youth workers to discuss gender issues with the youth. This online training is going to focus on gender stereotypes, gender equality, gender identities and hate speech.
The objectives of this online course:

to explore how youth work can address gender-related issues and thus provide meaningful spaces for young people
to introduce and exchange methods, good practices and resources for discussing gender issues with the youth
