Call for Participants:
Maghweb invites third sector youth workers, civic educators, and activists from Spain, Croatia, and Slovenia to join two international training events aimed at tackling gender-based hate speech. These events will take place in Palermo from October 7-11, 2024, and in Athens from January 20-24, 2025. Each event spans three days of activities plus two travel days.
About the Project:
The training is part of the “Elephant Talk” project, organized with Impact Hub Labs (Greece), Polylogos (Romania), and Young Educators (Portugal). This initiative engages young citizens across Europe to gather and visualize data against online gender-based hate speech.
Purpose and Goals:
The aim is to build youth workers and members of the third sector’s capacities in trans-feminist data gathering for social transformation and activism: participants in the itinerant training will gain the knowledge, methodologies, skills and information to gather data with a grassroots approach that engages citizens within their own cultural contexts and social justice work. The cohort of participants in the training will be youth workers from the consortium organisations in Italy, Greece, Romania and Portugal, as well as external participants from Croatia, Spain and Slovenia.
The training empowers youth workers and third sector members with skills in trans-feminist data gathering for social transformation. Participants will learn grassroots data gathering techniques to engage their communities in social justice work. The cohort includes youth workers from consortium organizations in Italy, Greece, Romania, and Portugal, as well as participants from Croatia, Spain, and Slovenia.
Practical Implementation:
Participants will use their new skills in national data gathering actions, focusing on online gender-based body shaming by disseminating a questionnaire among young people under 25.
How to Participate:
Youth workers, civic educators, and activists from Spain, Croatia, or Slovenia, join us in Palermo and Athens to become part of a transformative movement against gender-based hate speech.
