Beyond Gender
Exploring gender through an intercultural and intergenerational approach
Beyond Gender aims to promote an active dialogue about affective and sexual life, gender identities, and sexual orientations questions, between different generations.
For three years and half, five European associations (in France, Spain and the Netherlands) develop pedagogical material to deconstruct stereotypes related to gender, age and social and cultural background. To facilitate discussions between the different generations and to enable free expression, the activities developed during the project are inspired by popular education, intercultural pedagogy, as well as artistic and cultural mediation.
The project is addressed to the public of all ages, because there is no age to savor the affective and sexual life and to explore gender identities and sexual orientations. Our pedagogical material is also destined for education or training professionals, to make them feel empowered and equipped to approach these subjects with their public.

Exploring intersectionality
Step-by-step description of the “Exploring Intersectionality” exercise, used in group facilitation. This activity introduces the concept of intersectionality through reflection on privilege.

Step-by-step description of the “From Image Theatre to Forum Theatre” exercise, applied in group facilitation contexts.

It allows participants to explore social conflicts through the body and foster reflection and dialogue from a participatory perspective.
