It is our pleasure to announce GESTs participation in the new project IDEAS - Inclusive Educational Anti-discrmination AlternativeS. Over a two-year period, six partner organizations from the Czech Republic, Croatia, Greece, Iceland and Serbia will conceptualize and record 35 podcasts, with the aim of disseminating feminist knowledge. The project will make feminist knowledge accessible and contribute to the empowerment of multiple marginalized groups. GEST contributes to the project by sharing their knowledge of podcasting with project partners through training and consultation, and by producing 5 podcasts with national and international experts on the topic of gender, environment and climate change.
