STRIVE

Náš projekt začal príchodom do malého mesta Dilijan v Arménsku. Projekt „STRIVE“, Striving for Gender Equality through Youth Work , ako už názov napovedá, bol zameraný predovšetkým na rozvoj a zlepšovanie vedomosti a porozumenie pracovníkov s mládežou zapojených do projektu o rôznych rodových konceptoch. Prezentovali sme naše krajiny z hľadiska rodovej situácie, rovnosti, stereotypom a poukázali sme na rôzne zaujímavé štatistiky či fakty, ktoré nás zaujali alebo sme sa s nimi stretli počas nášho života.

Na konci projektu sme mali šancu si vyskúšať a otestovať získané znalosti ohľadom facilitovania. Patrilo to medzi najprínosnejšie aktivity, kde sme počas 30 minútach mali možnosť pripraviť aktivity pre našich spoluúčastníkov na danú tému a vyskúšať nové praktiky v praxi. Nesmieme zabudnúť aj na odprezentovanie našich krajín počas cultural nightu, kde sme hrdo predstavili naše krásne Slovensko, tradície či tance a v neposlednom rade sme počas tej noci zažili veľa smiechu a zistili viac o iných balkánskych krajinách.
