POWER - ¿QUIÉN NECESITA EMPODERAMIENTO? EXPLORANDO EL GÉNERO Y EL PODER A TRAVÉS DEL ARTE
(Spanish)
El poder se distribuye de manera desigual entre las personas en todas las sociedades: tienen diferente influencia sobre las decisiones, diferentes derechos y deberes. El género es una de las dimensiones que parece organizar esta desigualdad en la distribución del poder, ya que las mujeres tienden a tener un rango más bajo y menos poder que los hombres, en diferentes momentos y lugares. Durante los próximos cuatro años, cinco organizaciones socias de España, Italia, Francia y Eslovenia trabajarán en la sensibilización sobre cómo el género es una construcción social que está conectada con el poder y sus distintas formas.
POWER trata de ofrecer a los jóvenes formas creativas y atractivas para comprender los conceptos relacionados con el género, crear conciencia sobre cómo el género está conectado con el poder y cómo las personas hoy en día todavía sufren discriminación y opresión debido por un lado a los mandatos sociales de género, que jerarquizan y dividen a hombres y mujeres, así como por otro a las distintas maneras que las personas tienen de plantear sus elecciones con respecto al género. El proyecto pretende asimismo desarrollar comprensión, empatía y solidaridad hacia otras orientaciones sexuales para hacer frente a las opresiones que sufren. A través de tres métodos participativos, no formales y basados en el arte, desarrollaremos herramientas para trabajar sobre las desigualdades y los desafíos relacionados con el género y ofreceremos a los trabajadores y líderes juveniles herramientas para abordar los problemas de género y poder con los jóvenes de manera segura y atractiva.

POWER – WHO NEEDS EMPOWERMENT? EXPLORING GENDER AND POWER THROUGH/IN ART
(English)
Power is distributed unequally between people in all societies: they have different influence over decisions, different rights and duties. Gender is one of the dimensions that seems to organise this inequality of power distribution, with women tending to have lower rank and less power than men, across different times and places. Over the next four years, five partner organization from Spain, Italy, France and Slovenija, will work on raising awareness about how gender is a social construction connected to power.
Project POWER is about offering young people creative and appealing ways to understand the concepts related to gender, raise awareness about how gender is constructed by society and connected to power: how people today still suffer discrimination and oppression because of their gender constructions, develop understanding, empathy and solidarity towards others with different types of gender elections and sexual orientations to step up against oppressions that they suffer. Through the threefold art-based, non-formal, participatory methods together we will develop tools to communicate about gender related inequalities and challenges and offer youth workers and youth leaders comprehensive tools to address the issues of gender and power with young people in safe and appealing ways.

METHODS
We use a threefold art-based, non-formal, participatory method. Artworks are polyvalent and equivocal, allow for multiple meanings and approaches to emerge, and thus can help to visualize messages and tackle problems with detachment. The participatory approach emphasises experience and active participation of young people in order to imprint new seeking alternative solution for gender related conflicts and discrimination.
PARTICIPANTS
- Primary target group: 100 youngsters (from 18 to 30) from different cultural and social backgrounds, from all gender minorities and of homo/heterosexual identity.
- Secondary target group: 300 youth workers, (museum) facilitators, art educators.
