Abstract
The project deepens existing and develops new perspectives in the Peace Institute’s research and activist work on gender equality and masculinity. By raising awareness, training and mobilising young men for the rejection of violence and for critical attitudes towards hierarchical, dominant and privileged relations between people, the project works to reduce all forms of gender-based violence. The objectives of the project are: to improve the knowledge and strengthen the competences of teaching staff, youth workers and activists in the field of gender-based violence on norms of hegemonic masculinity and alternative conceptions of masculinity; to develop innovative participatory practices for working with young people; to empower young men to take a non-violent behaviour; to raise awareness and educate young people as agents of change through peer-to-peer activities in schools, youth and sports clubs.
