The year 2020 will be historically known as the COVID-19 year of great pandemic. The whole world shut down for a few months and even when the lockdowns and curfews were lifted, our societies have witnessed a notoriously change. In some ways, the effect of this pandemic will be temporary until a cure has been found, but for some fields the pandemic has been a turning point that will condition and modify their procedures. This is as well the advantage since it challenges had made us and our work more flexible and created the offers outside of our regular working plan.During the lockdown, resources dedicated to youth had to readapt themselves in order to continue offering services to their users, youngsters. In this case, we can say that fortunately we live in the tech and internet era, and we were able to use it in our favour. The applicant with the youth centre which it is running decided to continue their agenda of activities virtually, using popular platforms, and asking and listening constantly to the youngsters what kind content they would enjoy. This is a method used from the open youth work methodology where local and small activities in youth centers are designed in accordance with the needs and wishes of youngsters. Concurrently, the applicant together with the Romanian partner and other European organizations, created the International Virtual Youth Centre platform, where a diverse profile of people related with youth would upload audio-visual content with the goal of entertaining and educating at the same time youngsters from all over Europe.Among the partnership of six different European organizations dedicated to the youth field, the ongoing project wants to continue this beta project that started during the lockdown, explore new realities due to COVID-19 and innovate in the methods on the implementation of a virtual youth centre in Europe. We want to create a platform where the youngsters can find the offer and resources that they also find in the physical youth centre, with constant accessibility to their referents, the youth workers.In this project the main target group and participants coincide - for we will ask them what they need and wish, will participate in the creation of content and then will become a beneficiary of this new tool. Also we want the youth workers to improve their vision about the changes that COVID-19 raised on the youth and increase their skills on media content, doing a training activity which will be applied separately and who focus will be on the instant media presentations, creations of videos, processing and postprocessing.The project will create three intellectual outputs - IO. The first one will be a survey to fifteen youngsters active in organizations daily work in every partner country, with which we want to collect the needs and changes caused by the virus and answers on what kind of platform and audio-visual content they would like to have. The second one, will be the mentioned webpage/platform and the creation of specific audiovisual content from each of the partners and in accordance with IO1. And as a third and closing intellectual output we want to create a digital handbook, that will gather the results of the survey and the experiences on the platform from every partner, its youth workers and young people.In order to achieve these objectives and results, we target a project duration of 24 months (March 2021 to March 2023). For a successful accomplishment of our milestones and discussions, we will have five transnational meetings in the different countries besides a monthly steering online meeting. Moreover, once the third intellectual output is finished, we plan to do a multiplier event in each of the partners’ countries in the format of a symposium so we can disseminate the results, share experiences and motivate other youth organizations to follow our steps.

This year, many young people suffered a double lock during the confinement decreed by the COVID-19 by confining themselves with parents who do not accept them because of their sexual or gender condition (El País, 2020). This situation has aggravated their mood, as they did not find recognition in their environment, and they continued to suffer LGBTIQphobic harassment through social media (FELGBT, 2020).The LGBTIQ+ collective is socially excluded due to their identity and sexual orientation, hindering their social and community relationships, the exercise of their rights and their economic status (Landman, 2006). Despite the progress made in recent decades in the recognition of their rights, social discrimination continues to affect them on across basis. It is necessary to recognize that violence directed at the group is a daily reality that cannot remain hidden or unattended. UNESCO (2015) points out that one of the most frequent reasons for school violence has to do with perceived sexual orientation or gender identity. In Spain, data from the Ministry of Internal Affairs (2018) shows the existence of discrimination for these same reasons, being, with the 20%, the third most reported cause of hate crimes, and the first among the young population, with the 39,4%. As for Italy, this year numerous hate crimes were documented, including two murders, and the data published by Arcygay indicates an increase in these crimes compared to 2019, going from 119 to 187 cases. On the other hand, in Portugal, 83% of students witness or are victims of homo-bi-trans-interphobia discrimination (Rede Ex Aequo, 2019), and the entry into force of the law that allows changing gender in marital status without a medical diagnosis since the age of 16, it caused 27,000 people to sign to revoke it.LET ME KNOW is a cooperation for innovation project that aims to strategically associate professionals and young people from LGTBIQ+ entities to create and to develop a new creative methodology derived from Photovoice, which gives a voice to the group by making visible and denouncing situations of discrimination that they face daily, promoting their inclusion through art.GENERAL OBJECTIVE: to develop a new methodology to facilitate the visibility of the daily difficulties faced by the LGBTIQ+ collective through social photography.SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES:0.1. To promote cooperative and transnational networking among partner entities, and collaboration between participants and professionals.0.2. To cooperatively create and disseminate an innovative methodological guide focused on art as a tool to combat social exclusion for youth workers, young people and related entities.0.3. To empower the LGBTIQ+ youth population in the expression of their experiences and denouncing discriminatory situations through art.0.4. To provide innovative tools to entities to implement future actions in the field of affective and sexual diversity, and social photography.0.5. To promote the social and cultural inclusion of the LGBTIQ+ youth community and the fight against the proliferation of homo-bi-trans-interphobic discourse.0.6. To promote the development of new Erasmus+ projects that give continuity to the project as a KA1-Youth Exchange among its participants.The youngsters selected as the target group will be 15 per country, aged between 16 and 30 years old, and who are interested or involved in issues related to gender and affective-sexual diversity, with particular attention to those that come from situations of social marginality, discrimination and vulnerability.PLANNED ACTIVITIES:A1.
