From stereotypes to gender equality

Description

"Alarmed by the differences between men and women in status, roles and positions in our society, our aim with this project is to promote gender equality within the educational community. Our ultimate goal is to contribute to the improvement of social justice in tomorrow’s Europe. In our schools, pupils are often strongly prejudiced about how girls and boys should behave and what their future should be. As a result, when men become adults, they are more likely to get powerful jobs while women often accept precarious and lower-paid positions.This vicious cycle is reproduced from one generation to the next. It is very present in isolated and disadvantaged populations. These observations have led us to reflect on, and wish to counter, gender stereotypes. There will never be real equality between men and women unless we deconstruct the bases of gender relations, i.e. the historical division of social roles between men and women. These roles are based on philosophical, religious, political, biological or social ""justifications"" that vary throughout history and from country to country. By giving girls and women their proper place, we will help to change attitudes and promote gender change in order to build societies with more justice and equality. The development of our societies will not be achieved by holding back half of the population. Equality in the Law must become equality de facto because, as Victor Hugo said, ""Humanity has a synonym: equality"".To act on this, we have chosen to build this project through a partnership between four schools (in Romania, Finland, Greece and France) and three NGOs (in Spain, Italy and France). The choice of European partners makes it possible to address our topics in countries from all four corners of Europe (North / South - East / West). Half of the partners are in rural areas, the other half in urban areas. This diversity adds value to the project, while considering the issues within a varied local context. Through a global, collaborative and coherent approach, we will create a book of mischievous tales that free of stereotypes, a game on gender equality, an e-learning website, a communication kit and a roadmap, as well as a digital platform for sharing educational tools and the results of the project. With these tools, we aim to mitigate the effects of gender prejudice and stereotypes, and show that a fair society is possible. Free from stereotypes, students will develop their individuality and their true skills. By highlighting gender-related behaviours and attitudes, we also plan to tackle academic difficulties, especially with boys. Whenever they comply with their traditional gender assignment of domination, confrontation and rebellion, their academic achievements are often compromised. To achieve our goals:- We will share our knowledge, our experiences and our reflections on gender relations and ICT to broaden our educational approaches and requalify our teaching methods and tools;- We will involve local partners from participating countries throughout the project;- We will co-build educational tools to improve the understanding of processes that promote access to gender equality. Thus, with some thirty teachers and three associative partners, we intend to combine our skills and experiences in order to offer powerful and reliable tools that will promote the success of all students. For two years, these tools will be created, tested, used and communicated through our website and via local events informing people about the project."
