Vivien International Training
VIVIEN INTERNATIONAL TRAINING
PREMIX
This training is the follow up of a 2 years long project about gender violence with specific focus on women with disabilities.
The project can be seen here:
Website: www.vivien-project.eu
Facebook: VivienProject
The sources of this training are:
- the desk research carried on by University of Parma to detect European researches about training in VAW analysis to find key elements of effectiveness
- the survey carried on by University of Parma to detect European Best Practices of violence against women with disabilities management
- the test (questionnaire and video) submitted by University of Parma to trained and not trained professionals to check their knowledge and attitude regarding VAW and disabilities
- the same test submitted to professionals who attended our 4 multi-professionals training (basic, intermediate and advanced).
STRUCTURE OF THE TRAINING
Due to the pandemic situation we have organised the training online.
Moreover, we have planned to split 4 days of training into 4 sessions, in order to dedicate each session to one main approach among the ones used/experimented in the partnership.
The idea is to keep the specificity of each method so that participants can get an impression of 4 different ones. Of course a combination among them is possible also because there are theoretical similarities as well as differences.
The Training will be in English language.
OBJECTIVES
1) To raise awareness of trainers all over Europe about possible methods to train professionals / activists / volunteers about the VAW (Violence against women) issue with particular attention to women with disabilities.
2) To connect experts from various fields of work and make them to discuss openly about their issues and ideas to improve their ability to assist women victims of violence.
