Practical training for professionals "BREAK DOWN WALLS"

We invite professionals who encounter people and their complex life situations on a daily basis. Participation in the training will provide you with tools for the prevention of social problems and human rights violations, as well as for working directly with vulnerable groups. Training topic: "Tools for recognizing and responding to violence against LBT women and non-binary gender identity persons" We will talk about: – basic concepts and what they mean in practical work; – stereotypes and attitudes that sometimes imperceptibly influence our decisions; – the specifics of violence against LBT women and non-binary gender identity persons; – risk factors, vulnerability, and intersectional discrimination; – signs and signals of violence that are important to notice; – how to react when we don't know what to say or how to act; – sensitive, respectful, and inclusive communication. We will also distribute a methodological tool to participants that you can use in your work, and we will issue certificates of participation after the training. This will not be just another training session where you have to sit for several hours and listen to text from slides; here we will work together and interactively: we will analyze situations, perform practical tasks, discuss, raise uncomfortable questions, and look for answers that would actually be useful in your work. Most importantly, in the training, we will not only talk about what should be done, but we will also try it out in practice. Coffee and snacks will help you stay energized during the intensive training. The training is free, but registration is required: https://forms.gle/zmroZ7Tcf9PfLqJ37 Funded by the European Union.
