A campaign addressed to young people aimed at preventing couple violence and fighting against gender stereotypes

In February, between Valentine's Day and the Romanian love holiday - Dragobete - A.L.E.G will organise the fourth edition of the Sibiu Gender Equality Festival.

The program of the festival will include:

• Forum theatre - an artistic educational experiment played by and for teenagers which will explore models of couple communication
• The living library - an event which brings you face to face with your prejudices: the Rroma women are lazy, soccer players are macho-men, divorced women are tramps. Here you may "borrow" a discussion partner, a living book which you may "read" for 45 minutes.
• Choose your words! - street action during which couples may dedicatee to each other messages "written" with the help of our "word-volunteers"
• Flash-mob - surprise street action aimed at drawing attention on aggressive couple behaviours and at testing the reactions of the passer-bies.
• "Cupid's recipes" - launch of a brochure which is not a list of pieces of advice given by the adults, but a collection sharing the experiences of normal young people.

The campaign is financed by the Body Shop Foundation and the Global Fund for Children.
