With our Strategic Partnership Young Queer Europe (YQE) we aimed to bring non-LGBT organizations and LGBT organizations from different parts of Europe together in order to share experiences on dealing with sexual identity issues in youth work and to learn from each other's expertise and working methods. We have brought a strong coalition of partners together with specific expertise in the field of LGBT related issues, in media&video and in awareness campaigns. We consider the collaboration between these organizations as innovative and very strong. The organizations will learn how to effectively use video and narrative structures as a method for fostering awareness and acceptance regarding LGBT issues. Also, the partner organizations will be trained in transferring this knowledge to their target groups (youth workers and youngsters). Finally, sharing expertise, sharing good practices and training is the core of this strategic partnership project that will lead to two main outputs: toolkit and website. This project has several objectives, it:- provides useful tools for youth workers to open the discussion on LGBT issues with their youngsters - raises awareness regarding social inclusion, gender equality and protection of young LGBT people;- learns youth workers how to effectively use media, film and performing arts in awareness campaigns regarding LGBT issues and human rights issues in general;- builds strong Gay-Straight Alliances between LGBT organizations and non-LGBT organizations. The organizations will be strengthened by these alliance in general and they have a exemplary role in specific towards other organizations; - enables partnering organizations tools to execute awareness campaigns;- provides organizations the tools to involve more young LGBT people in the work to increase the visibility and acceptance of LGBTs in Europe;- builds strong network of LGBT organizations all over Europe, sharing of knowledge; - attracts better attention for the position of LGBTs, specifically in countries were it is less accepted; - empowers young LGBTs in countries where homosexuality is not accepted in general; - capacity building, organizations will be trained in how to use media in raising awareness etc.;- creates material for an effective EU educational awareness campaign, such as website and toolkit.The visibility of young LGBT people, by the website and toolkit, will empower other young LGBTs and lead to a more active and conscious EU citizenship. Also, it will lead to a broader understanding of the common European values regarding social inclusion, gender equality and protection of LGBT people.
