LET ME KNOW: make sexual diversity visible through visual arts

Description

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. Discussion, reflection and learning of working and intervention approaches and strategies.A2. Creation of a new methodology in a cooperative way.A3. Testing and implementation of the new common methodology.A4. Improvement in the implementation of actions in the different countries and contexts.A5. Dissemination of results, products and common methodology through local multiplier events.A6. Boost of the development of new Erasmus+ projects as a youth exchange between the participants.RESULTS:R.1. Increase and improvement of knowledge for the planning of actions and working proposals.R.2. Creation of a new common methodology collected in a Booklet.R.3. Testing and implementation of the new methodology through national pilot tests.R.4. Improvement in the implementation of the different actions in different countries and contexts.R.5. Dissemination of the results, products and common methodology, accessible to European entities and young people.R.6.
