Description: Promoting global justice, equality and peace within the oppressed groups of the society and mutual understanding is one of the main focuses of SCI Catalunya. The aim of this online camp is to explore and deepen the knowledge (and possible misconceptions) about Feminisms and the LGBTIQA+ community, considering aspects that most of the times are ignored (such as inclusive language) by the society. The best way to do all this is by enhancing different conceptions related to cultures in order to achieve a broader understanding.

Type of Work: We would like to work with a daily schedule, starting at 10 am CEST with a video call to start the day together with some online dynamics. Тhe latest session would end at the latest 18h. In total, the online work camp will take no more than 5 hours per day. We plan it as an interactive online camp about feminism and gender. The participants would be asked to do different tasks in their household and/or outside which will consist in implementing the knowledge obtained from the sessions, exercises and debates.

Study Theme: This online camp will help you get more into the topics of gender equality and roles, the inclusive language, the feminist activist resistances around the world, the LGBTIQA+ community and the myths of sexuality. The camp will be organized through non-formal education online activities such as artivism, movies, music, discussions and creative workshops.

Accommodation: Zoom meetings

Requirements: A device with a good internet connection, a quiet environment as well as interest and passion towards the subject and mutual respect towards the participants, open-mindedness and respect.

Approximate Location: Our own comfy homes, rooms, chairs, beds. :)

Notes: Previous experience on the topic is always a big plus when it comes to sharing information from different countries. However, people with basic knowledge are welcome too! Nevertheless, it is essential to bring a smile, to be energetic, positive and eager for more in the interactive sessions!
