Description
Estonian people’s low awareness of the principles of equal treatment of different genders has led to a situation where the prejudices, conservative and stereotypical expectations affect not only girls' and boys' choices of education but also to differences in their subsequent socio-economic status and wider well-being. The overall objective of the project is to increase the training capability to promote gender equality. As a result of this project, the awareness of gender-related topics will increase among different target groups (educators, parents, trainers and counsellors), and a broad-based and sustainable program will be created, which allows participants to gain practical skills and favourable attitudes towards gender-sensitive development environments for boys and girls. The innovation of the project lies in its broad and systematic approach to creating gender-sensitive development environments. Educational staff, parents and other interested members of the community are all involved in programmes aimed at shaping the attitudes and skills of adults surrounding boys and girls with different development needs.
