#LoveisLove

El Escorial(Madrid), Spain

From March 15 to 22, the “LoveisLove” youth exchange took place in the city of El Escorial, Madrid, Spain. This is a European project organized by MadUp, whose main theme is Equality and Rights of the LGBTQIAP+ Community.

The last few decades have brought progress in the rights and legal protection of LGTBI people, but true equality has not yet been achieved. Societies discriminate against LGTBI people in all areas, especially in the workplace where there are high unemployment rates.

Participei recentemente no programa #LOVEISLOVE em El Escorial, Espanha, uma experiência incrível onde tivemos a oportunidade de partilhar testemunhos pessoais, visitar lugares lindos e aprender, além de criar, novas ferramentas para promover a igualdade. O alojamento tinha vários espaços acolhedores e todos estavam empenhados em promover o respeito e a inclusão.

 

Comecei a participar neste tipo de programas em 2012, e este foi particularmente especial pelas pessoas que conheci. Criamos um espaço seguro para todos se expressarem de forma aberta. As noites culturais foram incrivelmente divertidas, com danças e comida, performances e até brindes que tornaram a experiência ainda mais memorável.

 

O que mais me marcou foram os laços que formamos durante o programa. A convivência e a troca de experiências com pessoas de diferentes culturas enriqueceram minha visão do mundo e reforçaram meu compromisso com a promoção da igualdade.

I recently took part in the #LOVEISLOVE program in El Escorial, Spain, an incredible experience where we had the opportunity to share personal testimonies, visit beautiful places and learn, as well as create, new tools to promote equality. The accommodation had several welcoming spaces and everyone was committed to promoting respect and inclusion.

I started participating in this type of program in 2012, and this one was particularly special because of the people I met. We created a safe space for everyone to express themselves openly. The cultural evenings were incredibly fun, with dancing and food, performances and even giveaways that made the experience even more memorable.

What struck me most were the bonds we formed during the program. Living together and exchanging experiences with people from different cultures enriched my view of the world and reinforced my commitment to promoting equality.
