We are glad to invite you to the event “Young people for gender equality”, which will take place within the framework of  the EQUAL_GEN program,  coordinated by Diotima Center and implemented  by Anasa Cultural Center and Emantes International LGBTQIA+ Solidarity.

The event will present the actions of the project for the promotion of gender equality and the prevention of gender-based violence, addressed to 900 young people, aged 16-30. By working with the young generation, our goal is to create cracks in gender stereotypes and roles, which decisively affect young people’s choices in education, interpersonal relationships and work, perpetuating gender inequality and violence.

The event also includes two artistic events to get a glimpse of the interactive workshops implemented within the framework of the project, utilizing contemporary art to approach issues of gender justice, in an experiential and extralinguistic way.
