“Let´s Make the Invisible Visible” was a three-year long project implemented by five organisations from Central Europe. Those organisations, dealing with women’s issues and gender equality, came together to tackle a very topical issue of women facing multiple discrimination in the European society.
As all partners involved know from their everyday practice, formal education methods are not sufficient and adequate tools when working with women facing multiple discrimination. Instead, means of empowerment of vulnerable groups of women have to be applied. Thus participatory coaching methods and drama techniques were looked into and tested with the target group in all the countries involved with the aim to identify methods empowering and enabling women who are discriminated against on multiple grounds.
The project was composed of three parts that are inseparably connected. In the first phase partner organisations are to learn from one another. The staff of participating organisations increased their competences as they learnt about best practices the other partner organisations have been using in their work with multiple discriminated women (such as Roma, migrant or old women).We produced a handbook on innovative techniques to be used in adult education. The counselling of marginalised women was prepared together with 5 webinars dealing with selected innovative techniques and
methods. Also, video portraits of 5 women representing all participating countries will serve as well as a tool for distorting stereotypes connected to migrant, Roma or old women:
