DESCRIPTION: This free training is designed for leaders, youth workers, teachers and educators from all over Spain to explore and deepen their understanding of how to apply the peer-to-peer learning methodology in gender equality projects.

In addition, we will meet coaches and change agents who have worked for a year with approximately 1,000 youth on gender equality and violence prevention issues, sharing their experiences and lessons learned.

This course is part of the No Da Igual project, co-financed by the Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values program of the European Union, led by Cazalla Intercultural (Lorca), Pan B Educación Social (Salamanca), Jovesólides (Valencia) AND Proyecto Kieu (Toledo).
