Project in brief
Resilience Residency is a creative Youth Exchange exploring queer dating, intimacy and relational resilience in a digital age. Participants will examine communication, boundaries, vulnerability, rejection, online dating and unequal access to queer communities across different local contexts. Through peer learning and participant-led creative formats, the exchange will support healthier connections, stronger self-awareness and resources that can be shared with other queer young people.
Participants
Queer young people aged 18–25, particularly those facing geographical, social, cultural, religious, economic, discrimination-related or health-related barriers. Approximately five young people and one group leader per national group are envisaged.
Partners sought
Organisations working directly and responsibly with queer young people and able to reach young people outside the usual Erasmus+ mobility circles. Priority will be given to partners from countries geographically close to Romania because of the project's regional approach.
Special expectations
Conduct a short anonymous needs-mapping process before the application; actively co-design the project; create a safe and inclusive environment; recruit and prepare the national group responsibly; protect participants’ privacy and avoid unnecessary disclosure of sensitive personal information.
