“From Here We Rise” Project (2022-2024)
No. 101081438-RISE-CERV-2021-CITIZENS-CIV within the framework of “Citizens, Equality, Rights And Values” – Strand 2: Democratic engagement and Civic Participation Programme.
This project aims to ensure the participation of the target population in decision making processes, whilst also recommending measures with a gender-based approach. The project would also like to strengthen cooperation between civil society, citizens and decision makers that can mitigate many of the challenges and improve the quality of life for the target group.
The project objectives are as follows:
To undertake a gender-based research study, analyzing the social and economic effects on vulnerable groups.
To undertake a series of debates and seminars, focusing on the curtailment of fundamental rights on vulnerable groups.
To raise awareness and actively counter disinformation, through a campaign, a publication and workshops focusing on media literacy.
Our activities will be geared towards empowering vulnerable groups like migrants, Roma and other minorities with media literacy tools to counter disinformation, whilst also researching, discussing and debating the social and economic repercussions brought on by the COVID-19 crisis to increase their knowledge on Fundamental Rights.
The identified problems that will be tackled in this proposed project are: the widening gender-based inequalities because of the COVID-19 crisis; the curtailment of fundamental rights, especially with regards to minorities and other vulnerable groups; the proliferation of disinformation and its effect on democratic debate; the need for media literacy, with the help of experts.
