ENHANCE - Enhance girls and young women inclusion with the full support of the community
ENHANCE brings together a multi-agency, cross sector partnership of organizations from 3 EU (CY, IT, NMK) and 3 NON-EU (Jordan, Morocco, Egypt) countries to increase their ability to tackle gender inequality and discrimination, by offering new up-to-date non formal education innovative methods and resources to ultimately foster a positive systemic change in their communities. The project will help the partner organizations to create supportive communities less prone to discrimination allowing the cross-fertilization of cultural norms, necessary to (a) address barriers and stereotypes that lead to gender inequality and (b) foster a more organized support to ensure girls and young women’s inclusion.
The project has a focus on capacity building the partners from the non-EU countries drawing lessons and experiences from the EU based partners and the European Commission’s work on promoting and implementing gender equality. According to a recent report by UNICEF, the situation of girls and young women in the 3 NON-EU countries is heavily influenced by cultural norms of their communities and a lack of quality education.
By participating in this project, the partners will:
- Enhance NON-EU organisations capacity to plan and implement local activities to foster better local cooperation
- Share updated, innovative non-formal education methods to facilitate girls and young women’s socio-economic empowerment
- Enlarge the number of NON-EU organisations, educators, target groups and communities using and benefitting from the project results
The project will also pilot its results among the consortium and their stakeholders and pursue a multiplier effect for the enhancement of youth work at a pan-European level. During the project, the participants will receive CPD certification for undertaking the project’s educational and capacity building activities.
The project will implement a series of activities structured in different work packages, including research into current practices in youth leadership, the development and pilot testing of new inclusive methodologies, and a broad dissemination strategy. These activities will range from the exhaustive analysis of existing challenges to the creation and validation of innovative tools and approaches, ending with the dissemination of results and training of youth sector professionals.
The project is expected to generate innovative methodologies for youth leadership, a compendium of good practices, and an online platform for knowledge exchange. Additionally, an increase in the quality and effectiveness of youth work is anticipated, greater inclusion and participation of youth in the proposed activities, and an expansion in the reach and impact of the organizations involved through the adoption of the developed methodologies.
