http://www.cerquosinoartemide.org; facebook: Cerquosino Artemide. Below you will find its
description.
ACCOMMODATION: the hosting place has a professional kitchen, toilets and showers, the meal will be
prepared by a professional cooker and will be served in the same building where the participants are
accommodated. There is a common dining room for meals and for free time. Please note that
participants will be accommodated in dormitory. The workshops will be held in the polyvalent room of the
association, set in the same building where participants are hosted.
Please consider the building is set in a marvellous place but in the countryside, so it is a bit isolated (40
minutes from the city of Orvieto), the local association members manage the place following sustainable
practices (such as community life, garbage recycling, responsible water use, responsible electricity use,
etc.) and participants involved in the project will be invited to follow these practices.
Participants will be asked to collaborate in the daily maintenance tasks, such as the cleaning of
the common spaces and will give a hand in the kitchen management (cleaning dishes, set the
tables, etc.). We kindly remind every body to inform about any specific needs concerning food or
allergies and to do it via e-mail!

GENERAL BACKGROUND: Lunaria launched in 2012 a medium term strategy aimed to promote gender
equality. The actors, target groups and beneficiaries of the process are young people, youth-social
workers, local organizations and NGOs. Indeed gender mainstream is deeply interconnected with history,
traditions and values and it's important to keep a cross-cultural perspective while analysing different subgender sensitive issues, as for example gender-based discrimination, hate speech toward individuals and
LGBT communities, feminisms, sexuality, gender-based violence and women empowerment.
Within this strategy, we have already implemented different projects in cooperation with European and
partner countries organizations:

in 2013 TAG CLOUD Respecting and Valuing Gender and Generational Differences, a
training course aimed to develop new tools in the gender framework for youth workers and to
facilitate gender equality within the projects and actions they realize at local level;
in 2014-2015 JAMBO Young Women Empowerment to Improve Quality of Youth Work and
Volunteering in EU and Partner Countries a capacity building project aimed to empower youth
and social workers from eastern Africa and EU, by providing them with new tools to favour the
women participation in short term local and international voluntary service projects;
2015-2016 PANDORAS BOX Young Women, Community Development through EU and LA
Cooperation, a capacity building project to follow up the work already started in Jambo, but this
time, developing the action in the field of gender equality in EU and Latin American countries.

THE POT OF GOLD is part of this strategy and is a multi-action project that includes a training course
(May 2016) and a youth exchange (October 2016). The general aim is to address the emergence and
spread in youth contexts of hate speech and discrimination based on gender and sexual orientation. We
expect to do it through the involvement of young trainers/social workers and youngsters on gender issues
and the identification of the causes and contexts of violence and discrimination and by providing them
new tools for raising awareness.
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES OF THE TRAINING:
to create a common ground to work within the gender framework, sharing different contents and
the general background situations (diagnostic);
to provide participants with tools to identify the different hate speech displays toward LGBT individuals and communities;
to provide participants with methodologies to raise awareness toward hate speech, among
young people and not only, and to run an efficient communication strategy.
TARGET GROUP: youth workers, peer educators and active citizens who work with and support local or ganizations, interested on gender issues and involved in the realization of youth initiatives in this frame work.
AGE: 18+
TRAINING METHODOLOGIES: training courses have to be considered the suitable stages where knowledge and skills can be exchanged in a peer to peer approach. For this reason, the relation among trainers, facilitators and trainees is based on the idea that they are mutually learning from each other and that
the active participation is the key work in the entire process.
The interactive methodologies that will be proposed during the training foresees the active involvement of
participants in each stage of the process and promote the horizontal exchange of competences. In this
perspective, ice breakers, team building activities, energisers, role play games, simulations, debates,
work in small groups and plenary sessions are interactive tools to stimulate the active involvement of participants.
During the project the swap of technical knowledge and tools will be encouraged and the different approaches in learning will be constantly stimulated and evaluated through specific sessions on learning assessment. A specific attention will be dedicated to the different learning processes, to the individual ways
of learning and to the valorisation of the individual skills.

ARTEMIDE - CASA LABORATORIO IL CERQUOSINO: was

established in 1996, on a disadvantaged and sparsely productive area
in the natural park Elmo Melonta, close to Orvieto.
Artemide has worked for several years as a crossroads of experiences
in the vocational field; it is operative in the less privileged contexts, and
fights against social exclusion, discrimination, racism and isolation, and
all those mechanisms that cause hardships and problematic behaviour.
The organisation hosts social cooperatives, cultural associations and
youth centres and suggests educational routes. The aim is to create a
common background to develop active citizenship, to promote peer
opportunities, intercultural education and, as a ultimate objective, to
build a society which can respect every form of diversity.
The trainings proposed by the association are based on common tools such as non violent
management of conflicts, theatre, environmental education and art in general.
Since 1991, Artemide has proposed workshops for adolescents, youth exchanges, and
training courses thanks to Youth in Action Programme, manages a territorial project of the
Terni district, called Ecomuseo del paesaggio Orvietano and promote networking activities
inside the European project RuralMed.
