All of our partners and us wrapped up some incredible pilot workshops in France, Spain, and the Netherlands for the Beyond Gender project! That means that our amazing toolbox is coming next 🔥

We used theatre techniques to spark conversations about gender, sexuality, and relationships in a fun and engaging way.

Participants got to explore stereotypes, challenge assumptions, and imagine new possibilities through theatrical techniques.

It was all about promoting understanding, respect, and celebrating diversity within 👏

Throwback to last September, when our amazing team came together in Barcelona for a powerful staff training session 🤩

We spent 35 hours diving deep into this part of the project's methodology, exploring theatre-based activities to tackle sensitive topics like gender, sexuality, and relationships.

This inspiring experience is what makes this project so special!

Our SET garden is all about the community and people 🤝

We do things together and that is what makes it all so special and so beautiful!
