Description

The project plans to achieve social movement and to start discussions not only at the professional level but also with young people within education. It raises the question of how to live without prejudice, equally, to draw attention to stereotypes and prejudices. The project is a system of measures and activities that systematically educate and raise awareness of gender equality. It consists of a qualitative and quantitative (questionnaire) survey of the legitimization strategies of gender equality in different communities from the maternity centres leaders’ perspective, a series of workshops at 25 primary and secondary schools, including the elaboration of an interactive methodology, as well as sensitizing access to women and excluding any form of violence in people-to-people relations. Project also creates a series of round tables for local NGO leaders, politicians and socially responsible businesses, but also experts in the field sociology and economics and consits of Invisible Women campaign, in the form of a series of blogs, infographics, viral videos on social networks that will sensitize public opinion towards the perception of real discrimination in society and the possibility of change. The project aims to describe the processes by which society becomes fairer without discriminating against its citizens on the basis of gender or race. In particular, its benefit is that it works with the life stories of people who have gone through different phases in which they have felt differently in their own lives, in their own careers – it uses good/bad examples. Terms such as inclusion, antidiscrimination or gender rights are given back their true meaning. The project partner Freedom of choice will participate in supervision processes that will lead to the best possible setting of methodological procedures in the compilation of documents (questionnaires, interview structures, documents for education), as well as in the education of project implementers.
