What cross-cutting values are and why it is so important to broadcast them – in Bialystok, Poland, the Eduthon winners organised a meeting for young activists.
The meeting took place on 28 and 29 September at the New Earth Hub. The participants were able not only to learn about the key cross-cutting values, but also to deepen their understanding through film analysis and group work.
What did the participants learn?
On the first day, they learnt about cross-cutting values such as:
- gender equality,
- human rights,
- environmentalism,
- inclusion.
They discussed how to integrate these values in planning projects and activities. This was followed by a screening of film clips from different genres, which was followed by a discussion. Participants discussed how cross-cutting values are reflected in everyday situations.
Film screenings and Swedish circle
The second day also started with film screenings, but the centrepiece was group work. Using the Swedish Circle method, the activists developed a checklist for activities that takes into account cross-cutting values. It can be found on the social media channel ‘to_chto_nado_channel’.
