"Nowadays it is difficult to underestimate the role of Media in achieving the fundamental value of gender equality. Media is the mirror of everyday life and at the same time is one of the tools to ""shape"" society, in this case how we perceive different genders. At the same time, the media is considered to play an important role in the quest for democracy and gender equality. Both biological and social genders prosperity and equality in many cases depends on stereotypes formed by media. The main aim of this TC was to increase awareness and provide youth with proper knowledge about gender issues and perspectives of European and project countries media, so enabling them to work on gender-related projects. In order to achieve the aim we set 9 objectives:-To re-explore and develop participants knowledge and understanding of various concepts related to gender issues and emphasize the importance of gender equality in Media-To analyze each partner's country gender issues-To facilitate networking process among participants and promote new common projects related to gender equality-To give space for participants to set new networks related to gender equality -To improve the intercultural, non-formal and informal learning process resulting in a wider impact on communities-To promote non-formal learning and Erasmus Plus program-To give an opportunity to meet local advocates and other professionals working with this topic and get inspired-To provide participants with tools, needed for project development. -To clarify challenges and opportunities of gender equality issues under Erasmus PlusThe project covered not only man versus women inequality (biological genders), but also other social genders that exist in our societies. By bringing youth from different parts of Europe, we were educating them and discussing with them in frames of this topic - how gender stereotypes are formed by media and how media could help to form a greater gender equality in project countries. Trainers familiarized participants with the issue; enabling them to be more critical towards media when it comes to gender issues. Also, providing participants with tools and knowledge to share and spread awareness in their NGOs and communities, partner organizations contributed in creating more tolerant youth and societies in general.The training gathered 27 young people including project organizers from partner countries: Ukraine, Armenia, Poland, Lithuania, Georgia, Holland. Most of the participants in one way or another are active in youth work and some of them are active in media as writers and bloggers. All of them in one way or another are related to the gender issues topic, either personally or through their youth work.In order to assure the continuation of partnership and similar projects participants were given time and space to work on possible youth projects that could be implemented under Erasmus Plus program, thus also expanding their network. The diversity of the group assured intercultural learning and sharing and non-formal education methods, such as discussions, roundtables, work in a smaller group, games, energizers etc., eased the learning process. One session was dedicated to meet a local expert working on the gender equality issue in Armenia, who explained in depth the local realities. However, participants were encouraged to be critical and ask questions and not take every idea and message of the expert for granted. This project was designed in a way that trainers could also provide needed tools for the sessions that they could serve participants in the future, e.g. recommendations how using media platforms to avoid stereotyping genders.Also, Erasmus Plus program was not only promoted as grant giver but it was also properly presented opportunities for youth to move forward with similar projects in the program."
