Goal in Three Parts

4^th Global Giving Report

During the months of September, October and November, the "Goal for Equality" project carried out actions involving students, educators and young people in order to promote gender equality and the empowerment of girls, such as:

• Training sessions for the "Young Leaders" monitors on gender equality;
• Training sessions for the educators team on gender equality;
• Futsal lessons (involving conversation circles);
• Leisure activities on Saturdays;
• 2nd Leisure Street 2016, with soccer activities;
• 2nd Walking Event;
• Guided activities during futsal classes about gender equality;
• Pedagogical exchange on guided activities among educators.
• Goal for Equality Tournament;

As a highlight, we mention the Goal for Equality Tournament, which took place in September. The event was intended to be an affirmative action for the empowerment of girls and women.

The flagship of the tournament was the women's futsal matches, with 150 girls and women playing in a total of 22 teams present. During the day there were parallel activities animating the audience during the games: female collaborative production of graffiti, gender cinema with projection of videos on the theme of gender equality, open dance class, capoeira and music. At the opening of the event the young monitors of Gol de Letra performed a small theatre play and the social agents made a presentation, both showing daily situations of respect and diversity. The event had a great audience, there were 468 people between participants and spectators.

The main challenge in the period was the articulation of the community to ensure participation in the Goal for Equality Tournament. The young leaders played a key role in mobilizing the female teams that participated in the games. All 16 monitors had the task to identify female soccer teams to attend the tournament. In addition to identifying, they had to encourage their participation in the event. There were 22 teams that participated in the tournament, of which 12 were mobilized by the monitors and made the registration a day before the event. In the end, as previously described, the challenge was overcome and the tournament was a success!

Another point worth mentioning in this period is the formation process of the educators in the gender equality theme. We noted that this process has broadened the knowledge of the group on the subject and empowered the educators to put it into practice. We identified that the group of educators show better intent in proposing activities on the theme of "gender equality" to the students.
