Good afternoon!
On Wednesday I came back from Portugal but unfortunately I couldn’t post anything about our recent participation in the YiA project (1.1. action, youth exchange), as the Blogger was blocked.
As I already mentioned in the last posts, between 2nd and 10th of May 2011, we have participated as partners in the implementation of the “Re(act) now! Show your Red Card to Domestic Violence” project. The project was organized by Associação Cidadania Viva (Portugal) and it took place in Abrantes, Portugal.
35 participants from 7 countries (Bulgaria, Italy, Estonia, Germany, Greece, Romania and Portugal) had the opportunity to identify the factors that influence domestic violence and learn how it can be fought against.
The activities included in the program were very interactive and involved a wide range of non-formal education methods: workshops, seminaries, domestic violence victims’ testimonies, watching movies, experts presenting their opinions considering the domestic violence phenomenon. With the help of the Romanian participants (Andra Cordos-Go Free. UBB Student’s Magazine; Andreea Stroie-UBB; Ovidiu Tudoruta-UBB), the project’s managers Alis Costescu and Doinita Popa organized “Gender and Discrimination” workshop and the Romanian cultural night.
The final activities of the project included the organization of public actions which aimed to raise awareness regarding the domestic violence phenomenon. The public demonstration, the street theatre and the flash mob took place in the center of Abrantes city and had a great impact among the Portuguese citizens.
In July we will participate in another YiA project, this time in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In case you are interested to find out more details concerning this project, you are invited to add your comment to this article. Thank you!
