DEADLINE: 4th July 23:59 CEST

During this training, you’ll learn how to implement the gender perspective in your trainings, making them more equal and gender-friendly. You’ll learn what sexual harassment is and how to prevent, detect and react to it, and most importantly how to train others in doing so.

Besides, you will get real experience in delivery as the practice delivery will happen in a real Safe Person training. During this training, we will explore a new concept, in which we will include a Safe Person training for youth workers within part of the Training for Trainers. This will be supported by the trainers of the T4T and the experience of the two previous SMASH trainings in Tbilisi and Helsinki.
