The professional development activity Beyond Gender: An Intersectional Approach to Youth Work brought together 25 participants from nine different countries (Turkey, France, Italy, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Romania, Moldova, Serbia, and Spain). The project analyzed gender diversity through an intersectional lens, exploring how it intersects with factors such as migration, racism, functional diversity, and sexuality. It strengthened youth workers’ understanding of these key social issues and their practical approaches, developing inclusive strategies together and providing appropriate tools and methodologies. Participants also met with local grassroots activism collectives and NGOs working on gender, migration, and other social issues to learn first-hand about initiatives for social justice and inclusion. The week resulted in a final event open to the public, and a booklet of activities and resources used and developed during the week.
