Combatting harmful gender norms through innovative education : Results from the Youth SpectActors project

An overview of the main results from the final evaluation process is hereby presented including an analysis of data gathered during the project implementation as well as the feedback by a representative sample of young people, moderators and sub-moderators at the end of the project. The main purpose of the project was to educate and empower young people between 12-25 years of age to question gender norms, attitudes and stereotypes that contribute or could lead to gender-based-violence (GBV) through organising theatrical plays that deal with typical situations where gender identity and expression occur. The project used an innovative methodology: Gender Transformative Social Theatre. This Fact Sheet was funded by the European Union?s Rights, Equality and Citizenship Programme (REC 2014-2020).
