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:
- Develop Educator Capacities: Empower adult educators to raise awareness about gender equality and LGBTQIA+ inclusion in public spaces.
- Create Educational Resources: Develop innovative, intergenerational learning opportunities, including educational materials that address gender-based oppression.
- 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.
