Maghweb is looking for third sector youth workers, civic educators and activists from Spain, Croatia and Slovenia to participate in 2, connected, international data training events in Palermo (7-11 October 2024 3 days of activities, 2 travel days) and Athens (20-24 January 2025, 3 days of activities, 2 travel days).
The International Training Events for Third Sector Youth workers, Civic Educators and Activists “Gathering Data to Dismantle Gender-based hate speech” have been launched within the framework of Elephant Talk, a citizen’s engagement project designed by Maghweb in collaboration with Impact Hub Labs (Greece), Polylogos (Romania) and Young Educators (Portugal) which aims to engage young citizens across Europe in a collective, international collaborative data gathering and visualisation action against online gender-based hate speech with youth workers from their different communities. The aims to build youth workers and members of the third sector’s capacities in trans-feminist data gathering for social transformation and activism: participants in the itinerant training will gain the knowledge, methodologies, skills and information to gather data with a grassroots approach that engages citizens within their own cultural contexts and social justice work. The cohort of participants in the training will be youth workers from the consortium organisations in Italy, Greece, Romania and Portugal, as well as external participants from Croatia, Spain and Slovenia. The knowledge, information and skills gained in the training will then be put into practice by all of the participants in national data gathering actions regarding the perpetration of and subjection to gender-based body shaming online. For example, external participants will be engaged in the collection of quantitative data on this phenomenon in their national, cultural contexts by disseminating an online questionnaire among young people under 25.
