"The things we say and how we say them can inform, influence, inspire and motivate others and express our empathy, understanding and creativity. It is our ability to communicate that enables us to build positive relationships, collaborate for common purpose, deliberate and share our ideas as citizens." |
This project has been created to understand, evaluate and support reconfiguration of one of the most upstanding areas in Human Rights discussion, gender equality, by studying several examples from home, schools and workplaces. The project aims to raise awareness towards both human rights putting Declaration of Children Rights into its centre, and gender equality by leading students on their way to better acknowledgement of these rights, inequalities, and pursue them to create more equal, self-constructed, independent and strong future. Our project shall examine definitions, perceptions and practices of gender equality and inequality concepts across Europe, while participants shall also experience different types of both the obstacles and the prospecting solutions (models) for this human rights issue. Project shall help participants to grasp the understanding of equality in a more general view, enabling them to gain experiences under certain concepts such as human (and children) rights, European citizenship, being an individual, participating in workforce, family practices and cultural practices.
Our project aims to create an environment for children in which genders are equally treated, well understood and established, to understand gender equality in order to support good practices and behaviours among and towards children, to create awareness of equal opportunities at school, at work and at cultural-social life for all genders, to improve intercultural awareness and sense of gender identity, to acquire European values like acceptance, tolerance, non-discrimination to improve a certain effort in the field of social and cultural development of children as future European citizens, to learn about different cultures, their dynamics in terms of gender identity, and equality. Being our main target group, students are 6-14yo in each school and teachers are the participants of the exchanges and supervisors of school activities all along the project. The project partners are selected according to their demographic, geographic/cultural and historical backgrounds in relation to the subject. Historical and demographic research for historical, demographic and economic variables in relation to gender issues across Europe are made. We firstly considered geographic data that is North, South, East and West of Europe for even distribution regarding aforementioned criteria. Secondly, GDP data and cultural / political / social data are used. Partners decided on which characteristics and values are required to be included for a well-structured work under the project subject.
