The training package includes a curriculum, training contents and methodology designed to ensure a solid training needed for youth workers, trainers, counselors, mentors and volunteers who work with young people (aged 18-30) to help them to prevent and to deal with gender based discrimination, sexual harassment, and sexual assault.

O3: Online course "Sexual harassment at work place"

An online course of five hours structured in modules and dedicated to young employees aged between 18-30 years. The course is intended to change attitudes, beliefs and behaviors of young employees, as well as to find effective ways to no longer accept to be sexually harassed and to have appropriate reactions, which lead to the prevention of the phenomenon.
