The training course "Battling homophobia and bullying among youth" will be held by LGBT info center from Serbia, in Novi Sad, Vojvodina, Serbia, 6th-15th April 2018.

LGBT youth suffers homophobia, violence and lack of solidarity from their peers nor their teachers during their schooling period. Attempts of LGBT and Human rights organization in Serbia to tackle this problem wasn't fruitful, because for any activities in schools one needs special permission form the Ministry of Education, that wasn't willing to cooperate on these issues. 

Similar situation regarding homophobia, bullying and violence in schools is present in Bosnia and Herzegovina and partially in Croatia, and with this project LGBT info center will exchange experiences and knowledge, and find alternative ways in solving these issues, especially in cooperation with our partners from Germany.

Although mechanism for protection of individuals against discrimination exist (on different levels in our countries and in Europe in general) there should be more activities aiming on supporting the individuals in threat of discrimination and violence, but also aiming at the mainstream youth in order to raise their understanding and level of tolerance. 

LGBT info center is proposing another way of solving this problem through the network of Youth organizations and organizations working with Youth.

Goal of the training course is to train youth workers on how to use the manual in their local youth work, and to empower them to develop and implement local activities that will tackle the issue of homophobia and discrimination in youngsters. There will be altogether 24 people, 20 participants (9 from RS, 5 from HR and B&H, 3 from DE) and 4 trainers/experts on NFE and LGBT rights. 

The language of the training course will be English.Participants should fulfil the following criteria: Age above 18; to be active youth workers / coordinators in our organisations; active in work with marginalised groups in our communities; willing to take more active role in organisational management and development of fundraising strategy and procedures; able to participate the whole duration of the training course; able to communicate and follow discussions and presentations in English language.
