A series of Cross-Network Activities has been organized by the Anna Lindh Foundation National Networks of Romania - Group of the European Youth for Change (GEYC), Turkey - Anka Gençlik Derneği (Anka Youth Association) and Tunisia - La voix de l’enfant rural (AVER) in the Framework of the Anna Lindh Foundation Virtual Marathon for Dialogue in the EuroMed.

#GenderIDTalks aims to promote gender equality in the sense of raising awareness on the topic of Women and gender stereotypes in a cross-cultural and cross-sectorial way, by connecting it to other key issues (SDGs and ICD, entrepreneurship, media and advertising, youth and digital) and empowering people towards a meaningful civic, economic, social, and cultural participation. The panels will give them a voice and bring youth together with stakeholders, to exchange experiences and ideas as an important asset for solidarity and future development, to find the roots of and break down the gender stereotypes and intercultural dialogue.

The Second panel (1,5-2h) will be an inspirational discussion about social entrepreneurs in the EuroMed region, with 4-6 speakers who will share and motivate our audience to take action in their communities. All the struggles will be discussed and the success stories of women in the business sector will be shared. In the pandemic, entrepreneurs from all over the EuroMed region have been forced to rethink their business and offer innovative solutions - therefore the effects of COVID and how to break down gender stereotypes when it comes to this sector will also be discussed. After the speakers’ presentations, there will be a Q&A with participants.
