The project "Capacity building of youth workers in providing services to LGBT youth" aims to build competence and sensibility of youth workers for working with young people from the LGBT community.Five participating organizations from Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Macedonia will acquire through training knowledge and skills to apply in their practical work with LGBT youth and also build a network able to pass the experience on through their own trainings. A total of 30 youth workers, 6 from each partner country in the project, will take part in a training in Serbia (Šabac) for the duration of nine days in December 2016. The concept of the training was developed combining many years of experience and several accredited trainings for sensibilized work with LGBT people of the project holder – the Asocijacija Duga.One of the methods will be the „Living Library” method, recognized by the Council of Europe (based on direct communication with LGBT people), whose application, among the application of other forms of participatory experiential learning, contributes to the building of knowledge, attitudes and skills about sexual orientation and gender identities necessary for a sensibilized approach to LGBT youth.As organizations dealing with human rights and youth, it is very important to us that our members are adequately trained for working with various vulnerable populations. In our region, LGBT people are not only stigmatized in the community and the public, but are sometimes rejected by their own families so alternative family structures - networks of friends and their support become extremely important. Recognizing this, our project focuses on capacity building in supporting young LGBT people by adequately training youth organizations for sensibilized work with them. Participants will also be taught how to pass on the knowledge acquired from experienced trainers during the training. This will result in a domino effect where youth workers continue to transfer knowledge and skills to others through their own trainings after completing this project, hence perpetuating the achieving of objectives of this project.One of the results of the project will be “The Guide for youth workers on working with LGBT youth”, which will include a section on a sensibilized approach to this population and a section about the facilitation of new trainings on this topic. The Guide will be created in cooperation with the participants of the training, and in November 2016, partner organizations will meet in Macedonia (Skopje) to define the details for the preparation of The Guide.The third activity of the project will be the conference to be held in July 2017 in Serbia (Belgrade). It will bring together 120 participants from partner organizations, public institutions, embassies, the donor community and the media with the aim of presenting the results of the project and influencing further state policies towards LGBT issues.
