Noored Ühiskonna Heaks (NYH) is
promoting a call for participants for a Training Course called “Be YOURSELF – Pride for Youth” which
will take place from 08th until 15th December 2016
in Shannon, Ireland.
The training course will be for youth organisations
that want to support their LGBT* young people. It will provide an opportunity
to explore deeper the participation of LGBT* young people in Europe, find
project partners and improve LGBT* young people´s participation at local and
international level. Organisations should be willing and able to implement
Erasmus+ projects.
The objectives of the project are:
• To learn about the issues and challenges LGBT*
young people face in their daily life
• To share knowledge, skills and experiences of
LGBT* organisations already working on the ground with organisations new to
this issue
• To explore new approaches in inclusive practices
in relation to LGBT* issues
• To explore how to expand awareness about LGBT*
among young people in own locality
• To share and implement this learning with their
projects upon their return to their home country
• To plan and develop concrete Erasmus+ actions supporting
LGBT* young people
The issues and needs we are seeking to address
through this project are:
• Creating a deeper understanding of the challenges
and obstacles for LGBT* young people.
• Exploring how discrimination impacts on the young
people and ways to overcome this discrimination.
• Understanding the LGBT* reality of the partners
involved in the project
• Giving a voice and support to many unheard young
LGBT* people who struggle with their identity in a heterosexual society and to
help prevent fear isolation and discrimination (through building and sharing
skills/attitudes/knowledge)
• to equip youth organisations with the
skills/attitudes/knowledge of how to become
LGBT* inclusive
This event will bring
together 27 participants from Belarus, Romania, Albania, Greece, Turkey, Ukraine, Ireland, Italy,
Estonia, Russia, Netherlands and Armenia. The event will be
