We are an association that works daily with children and youngsters. Currently, we have witnessed a lack of participation of our young people, on issues related to problems of the society in which they live. Recent data shows that in Portugal the wage difference between men and women has been increasing, although our country has an average below what was verified by the E.U., it is important to alert our youngsters of this type of discrimination and motivate them to identify and combat such inequalities. For that purpose, we decided to create an exchange where we can raise awareness for young people to combat this type of discrimination, actions and participate in the adoption of measures to end the inequalities and contribute to a fairer and more balanced society. The participants of our project are young people with economic difficulties and poor participation in the society where they live. It is intended that at the end of this exchange, they must have a more active participation in the society, which can reflect and create measures that meet the needs of the environment in which they live. During this program, all participants will have the opportunity to meet and be in contact with our community (Arcos de Valdevez) having the opportunity to analyze the differences and similarities between their culture and ours. Throughout the exchange, activities will be carried out on the basis of non-formal education through workshops that will work initially to identify the concept of "gender equality" and later give them the opportunity to know if the social role they play may or may not influence their socio-economic progress. Afterwards, activities and group dynamics aimed at identify and combat gender discrimination will be created. these activities will be registered using photos and videos. In the end, all participants will have to make a compilation of all the material and hold an exhibition in our association, which will then be used as an evaluation record of our exchange. Considering the future dialogue between all participants and institutions, an online forum where everyone can exchange ideas, experiences and to what extent the participation in our exchange influenced their participation in a more active way in the society will be created .
