On the contest for Best Youth Initiative, the three member committee elected the initiative of the youth team from Veles titled „ZOOM gender based violence”.
As part of the activities of this initiative teaser campaign on Facebook, https://www.facebook.com/zumiraj was conducted and a blog was activated http://zoommladinskainicijativa.wordpress.com/ . Aim of the blog is young people to have space where they can share content related to prevention and raising awareness on gender based violence.
On 10/08/2013 youth team organized exhibition “ZOOM Gender equality” at Youth Park in Veles. Scholars from two primary schools in Veles exhibited their drawings presenting what they mean by gender equality and gender based violence. At the end of the exhibition, participant received certificates of participation.
The exhibition was a follow up activity on peer educations conducted in secondary schools in Veles, where students had the opportunity to share their thoughts and dilemmas related to these issues. Short documentary will be prepared by the youth team aimed at conveying the message of this initiative. As a final activity panel discussion on “Gender equality in professions” where individuals with typical „male/ female professions” will be invited, is planned by the end of the month.
