This program is based on a Freirean pedagogy, using educational games and artistic tools. This methodology allows us to understand the values, conceptions, experiences, and reality of the participants, valuing their contexts and creating spaces for them to carry out significant learning and be protagonists of social change. |

To raise awareness
about the causes
and consequences of gender
and domestic violence; to promote values

| Summary: |
ARt'Themis+ is one of several projects
that UMAR (Alternative and Response Women's Union) has been developing to
defend human rights, specifically women's rights,
and promote gender equality. It is an intervention aimed at preventing gender- based
violence.
This subsidized project is being
developed in partnership with the Commission for Citizenship and Gender
Equality (CIG) and the Secretariat of State for Citizenship and Equality. Its main objective
is to raise awareness about the causes
and consequences of gender and domestic violence.
The project aims to promote values
that encourage citizenship and equal participation in public and private life, and to raise awareness about how
gender inequality is processed,
constructed, and reconstructed in everyday life. Ultimately, the goal is to bring about change
and social transformation regarding this reality.
This program is based on a
Freirean pedagogy, using educational games and artistic tools. This methodology allows us to understand the values, conceptions, experiences and
reality of the participants, valuing their contexts and creating spaces for
them to carry out significant learning
and be protagonists of social
change.
This project is being implemented
in some specific areas in Portugal, such as Braga or Porto. EPATV is implementing the project since 2021, through
sessions with theoretical exploration.
And
debate of ideas, culminating in a final presentation. The sessions are based on artistic tools (film, music), which
is to take what the participants like and reflect
together on some messages. At
the end of the project, participants are invited to create an artistic
product on the theme of
equality or human rights and present it to the community.
