The objectives of the project were: 1) prevent & combat violence against young people through a creative and cultural approach; 2) implement sector research to understand the magnitude of the phenomenon; 3) implement a set of educational tools on the topic of violence against young people through the educational use of cinema and creative writing; 4) develop a strong information and awareness campaign on the topic; 5) give young adults the way to express themselves using cultural tools; 6) promote and support gender respect, encouraging the inclusion of young people with fewer opportunities; 7) promote the protagonism of young adults by making them the main actors in the actions that concern them. These objectives were fully achieved through the development of all project activities and thanks to the various tools created that allowed the young beneficiaries of the Target Group to identify with the situations, allowing a fundamental and general awareness of youth violence. The images and dialogues of the 3 short films have told the story of the problem of violence against young people & all the psychological and somatic consequences that it produces, such as triggers of spirals of suffering, isolation, fear, depression, etc.

The activities developed in the project were multiple both from the point of view of the quality products created and the initiatives related to them. They were the following: - Focus Groups on the theme aimed at collecting data and opinions directly from the young beneficiaries; - Research in the 3 partner countries on the phenomenon of violence against young people; - Organization of 3 project meetings in Italy, Germany and Poland; - International training course for staff (JSTE) in Italy for the staff involved in each partner; - Development of a guide (created as an open educational resource - OER) on methodologies and implementation techniques with film methodology to transmit impactful contents and messages; - Local training courses to provide young people of the TG with the skills to develop a short film on the theme; - Production of 3 short films with the Target Group of young people (subtitled in English); - Organization of 3 Multiplier Events to promote the results and the debate on the theme; - Creation of a website containing all the products; - Monitoring and evaluation activities. In particular, the short films have allowed the narration of a very delicate topic in an innovative way and with a tool of great impact.

Each local training activity was organized and developed following the structure of the Guide created during the JSTE developed in Italy (the young people were trained in the same subjects of the JSTE in order to be ready to develope short films); -3 short films on the topic of youth violence in the language of the partner country & subtitled in English; -Project brochure in 4 languages; -Website in 4 languages; -Project logo; -3 newsletters in 4 languages; -3 MEs.
