Details:
While creating this hybrid training-seminar we anticipated gender and gender representation as a topic and video workshop as a tool to voice our opinions, standpoints, ideas and interpretations. Therefore, video advocacy is not less important and secondary neither for us nor it should be for you. There is a saying ‘picture is worth a thousand words’ and in our realities we are highly affected by images and visual content we are exposed to. Those images, both consciously and subconsciously, have an effect on our understanding of gendered societies and realities as a whole. With this video advocacy session, embedded in the course of the seminar, we are offering you a tool with which you can explore, express and voice your ideas while raising awareness of issues that concern you and that you’d like to advocate for.
Program
The six-day program will include:
• A theoretical and practical exploration of the concept of gender and gender representation in taken from a personal, political and social perspective;
• Workshops to discuss different issues as a way of sharing personal and organizational experiences whilst raising awareness;
• Videoing and video editing
• The creation of a safe environment for all participants to learn more about the relationship between the societal portrayal of gender and their identity-formation;
• A social program including intercultural evening, a free day, a welcome and closing party.
Working methods
The working methods will be varied and interactive with an emphasis on small working groups. Vega and its partners would like to have a great deal of input of experience from participants themselves (peer-to-peer education). The tools and resources developed during the conference will be made available to all organizations after the conference, so they can be multiplied in their local/regional/national/international youth communities.
