- HESED (Bulgaria) - Health education for girls, improving their hygiene, reducing the waste of disposable materials and fighting period poverty
- GEYC (Romania) -Effective Media

The topics were chosen based on the interests of the participants and the results of a focus group that had preceded in the context of the project. The participants were surprised by the results of the workshops. Gender inequality in the field of journalism, the myth of low-income women as victims of abuse, the difficult daily life of refugees, the relationship between women's health and environmental protection, and the simplicity of some online safety measures were found.
