Extending the Practice of Gender through intercultural learning

The manual provides a framework for exploring gender roles in different so­cieties and linking the general reflections on gender to the participation of youth, in particular young women, in international voluntary projects and their interaction in diverse cultural contexts. Although it has been developed for international voluntary service, it can also serve for other institutes organising mobility programmes and who are interested in introducing a gender sensitive approach to their work by providing them with interactive interdisciplinary tools that combine theory and practice. As such, the manual is divided into two main parts: Part I provides a theoretical background on gender and Part II lays out tools for practice in IVS.
