The project “Gender Perspective in EU Mobility Programs” was a strategic partnership aimed at promoting innovative approaches to gender-related challenges within youth organizations and integrating a gender perspective into EU mobility programs. The partnership brought together five civil society organizations and one university unit from five different countries, fostering transnational collaboration and knowledge exchange.
The project highlighted the importance of mobility programs as powerful learning tools, emphasizing the need to better align them with the actual needs and experiences of participants. Particular focus was placed on gender-related challenges during mobility, as well as on barriers that may limit equal participation, especially for young women.
Through capacity-building activities and peer learning processes, participating organizations strengthened their ability to adopt more inclusive and gender-sensitive practices. At the same time, the project contributed to the empowerment of young women by promoting support mechanisms and enhancing their participation in national and international solidarity networks.
The project’s outcomes included research findings, policy recommendations, and a collection of best practices, serving as practical resources for organizations implementing mobility programs. Overall, the project contributed to identifying target group needs and reducing participation barriers, ultimately improving the quality and impact of similar initiatives.
