In addition to the exciting Assemblies of young people and educators, in the second year of the project it has been possible to increase attendance by 25%. Particularly noteworthy are the multiple actions promoted by the young people of the Violet Networks: youth participation networks that work for gender equality in their environments and in the world. In Castilla y León, for example, several street actions were carried out to raise awareness, mobilize and influence citizens to build environments that prevent violence and inequalities affecting girls and women. Among them, an action of Violet Ribbons with messages to build equal societies in different educational centers, and a demonstration of social theater led by 15 students to make visible especially the realities and voices of migrant women in the world. Both were promoted in several locations in Burgos during 2021. In addition, through these actions, public entities were appealed to remember the commitments of the 2030 Agenda (especially the Sustainable Development Goals for gender equality, the reduction of inequalities and the right to education).

On a more continuous basis, socio-educational accompaniment activities were reinforced with young people from 3 educational/social centers, with special attention to those contexts that presented greater challenges, exclusion and inequality, exacerbated by the crisis. In Galicia, Castile and Leon and Catalonia, groups of young people in contexts of greater vulnerability were accompanied and trained in gender equality, peaceful coexistence and interculturality, exercising their right to participate as global citizens.

Along with this accompaniment, 3 socio-educational centers have also been accompanied in working with management and/or educational teams, leading continuous training to integrate the gender approach, and generating plans for peaceful coexistence, to address the social and educational challenges deepened by the Covid-19 pandemic. A total of 97 educators have actively participated in these spaces and training itineraries, showing an exemplary commitment to improving the tools and pedagogies for accompanying youth, with a special focus on coeducation and social inclusion.

Despite the great limitations and uncertainties, the second year of the “”Comprehensive and inclusive education in contexts of social vulnerability”” project has once again demonstrated its capacity to guarantee the right to full participation as a fundamental pillar for the inclusion of young people, especially in contexts of greater diversity and/or vulnerability. Indeed, it is for them a driver of change while activating their capacity of agency for the transformation of their environments and the world. In addition, more than 740 people have actively participated in initiatives for gender equality, social inclusion and a culture of peace, exceeding the numbers expected at the beginning of the project. The participation and leadership of young people, with a special contribution of girls and women, continues to prove to be the way to rebuild our societies in a resilient, peaceful, inclusive, intercultural way and in the defense of gender equality in Spain and the world, an agenda that we need more than ever to address the multiple social and environmental crises that continue to affect the rights and welfare of young people to a greater extent.
