About the project
 |
| Egirdir lake, Isparta Province, Turkey |
The project "Facts
and Dreams" aims to increase awareness upon social gender equality as
a fundamental principle of democracy and one of the prerequisites for
sustainable development. The
training course will take place in Turkey and will gather 25 participants from
5 European countries.
During the project the participants
will be able to identify the extent of the gender inequality within their own
societies and also, experience a deeper level of understanding through cross
cultural exchange. The participants would be engaged in discussions and debates
on how to satisfy gender equality at the European level, focusing on the share
of opportunities and good practices presented to young people. During the
training course, the situation of each participants' country would be analyzed and
some local best practices would be presented in order to share and establish
new project ideas. In addition, during workshops; participants will develop a
greater awareness of the gender roles and the existing cultural understandings
of men and women. Within the work groups, participants will develop a strong
team spirit; while during the dramas and simulations, they will have the
opportunity to experience the events from the opposite sex's point of view.
This project will enable participants to reflect their countries' culture and
conditions of gender by using the presentations and exhibitions. Furthermore,
it will make contributions for young people to be open-minded, to respect each
other and the opposite sex, to discover different cultural and social
realities, to provide mutual learning and to strengthen the identity of
European Citizenship.
Available places: 4
participants (if possible 2F and 2M)
