The course De-constructing Normality. Mainstreaming gender in youth work is already on-going.

Through the course we will:

• explore how gender roles are constructed and “normality” established for masculinities and femininities in diverse communities around Europe;
• introduce Human Rights Education methodologies and implement approaches and activities that support the role of youth work in this area;
• contribute actively to de-construct sexist attitudes through youth work tools that challenge predetermined gender roles,
• exchange best practices, raise awareness and develop competences in key concepts for mainstreaming gender in youth work;
• develop ideas for incorporating gender perspectives in youth work and at community level, and to introduce and promote the qualitative development of the activities of the new programme for youth in the frames of the Erasmus+ programme.
