In this training, gender-based approach means acknowledging the inequalities and different experiences individuals face based on gender. These inequalities are not limited to relationships between men and women but also include gender minorities and LGBTQIA+ communities, while being interconnected with other forms of inequalities. This approach does not imply a “theoretical study” but rather a willingness to look at one's work from a more sensitive perspective. It values shared experiences to better understand the impact of Gender in our projects..
Objectives
Explore and share diverse understandings of the gender-based approach, including definitions, real-life case studies, and challenges.
Support participants in identifying risks related to gender inequalities in their own projects and evaluate their current practices.
Develop practical steps to improve gender equality in mobility projects, including fostering inclusion and preventing potential risks.
Experience working within safer, supportive, and diverse international groups on gender topics, and learn to apply this within mobility projects.
Explore practical exercises that strengthen one’s ability to support participants on gender-related issues in the field of mobility projects.
Reflect on how individual perspectives, beliefs and behaviors can influence our professional role in managing mobility projects.

International team of trainers from France, Austria, Hungary and Italy. Implemented within the framework of SALTO ToT (Training practice course)
This course’s methodology is built on the principles of non-formal learning. Our educational approach acknowledges diverse experience levels among participants, allowing each to guide their own learning while contributing to a shared pool of knowledge, self-reflection, peer learning, and open discussion are core components, ensuring a space where participants feel supported to discuss and question gender-related topics.
In this event, we follow the principles of a safer space. We strive to ensure that everyone is met as their own self and that no one has to fear discrimination or harassment.
