Decalogue of Inclusion

Overview

“This Must Be the Place” is an adult education project created by Maghweb in collaboration with Cinergies and L’associació pels Drets Sexuals i Reproductius. Supported by the Agenzia Nazionale Erasmus+ INDIRE under the Erasmus+ Cooperation Partnerships in Adult Education program, the project focuses on empowering adults, particularly women and LGBTQIA+ community members, to promote inclusion and empowerment in both online and offline public spaces across Southern Europe.

In depth

Objectives:
“This Must Be the Place” is designed to enhance non-formal adult education across the Mediterranean, focusing on inclusivity both online and offline. The project has three specific objectives:

  1. Develop Educator Capacities: Empower adult educators to raise awareness about gender equality and LGBTQIA+ inclusion in public spaces.
  2. Create Educational Resources: Develop innovative, intergenerational learning opportunities, including educational materials that address gender-based oppression.
  3. Promote Active Citizenship: Encourage adults in the Mediterranean to engage in creating more inclusive communities.

Project Activities:

  • Capacity Building: Training sessions for 30 adult educators across Palermo, Athens, and Barcelona, focusing on gender-based oppression and media literacy.

  • Podcast Development: A 3-episode educational podcast featuring the experiences of women and LGBTQIA+ individuals in urban spaces across the partner cities. Accompanied by a didactic vademecum, the podcast will serve as a replicable educational resource.

  • Live Learning Events: Six intergenerational public events, including educational city tours and learning days, aimed at stimulating discussion and fostering inclusive practices in local communities.

Partnership Roles:

  • Maghweb (Italy): Leads project management and podcast production.
  • Cinergies (Greece): Hosts training on media literacy and advocacy.
  • L’associació pels Drets Sexuals i Reproductius (Spain): Facilitates live events and learning days.

The project’s comprehensive approach combines capacity building, media production, and community engagement to foster a more inclusive society across Southern Europe.
