VOICES is a European (Erasmus+) project that aims to help bridging the gender divide and foster women’s participation in society, by providing women and professionals working with them with a set of gender-responsive educational resources, specifically designed to promote gender equality and equal participation in society.
VOICES’ OBJECTIVES:
- to raise awareness on gender roles and inequalities, as a means to identify and implement strategies that encourage equal participation and bridge the gender divide
- to improve professionals’ competences in promoting gender equality and women’s empowerment
- to challenge gender-based stereotypes related to women’s participation in the public and private spheres of their lives
- to boost women’s willingness and capacity to boost women’s willingness, capacity and sense of agency within their diverse living contexts
- to promote effective lifelong learning and continuing professional development opportunities for women and the professionals who work with them (in adult education, public services, or civil society organizations) targeting gender equality and women’s empowerment
- to create networking opportunities for professionals that enable continuous knowledge exchange within a community of practice focused on fostering women’s participation and empowerment
