PRIDE aimed to develop a common culture of work and training for stakeholders in the educational community to prevent and fight against LGBT+ discrimination and thus ensure success for all. In particular, it sought to compare practices in Europe in order to foster exchanges on the following questions : How to address gender and sexual identity issues? What support should be given to students? What displays in schools to promote the inclusion of all? What practices should be used to promote gender equality? What discourse should be used to accompany this search for oneself and ensure acceptance by all? What is the role of the school on these issues? Through European mobilities, the project aimed to accompany the participants' reflection by proposing other practices and by confronting different points of view, to enhance the value of all the actors in their daily investment and to build a network of players against LGBT discrimination and for the deconstruction of stereotypes. Carrying the project at the level of the "Académie de Paris" has given greater recognition to the actions already undertaken in Paris while contributing to a local dynamic.
The "PRIDE - gender, identities, sexualities" project is in line with the inclusion objectives of the Erasmus+ programme and with the will of the "Académie de Paris" to fight against all forms of homophobic and transphobic harassment in schools. The "Académie de Paris"' proactive approach to these issues was affirmed in 2019 by the setting up of the Academic Observatory for the Prevention and Fight against LGBT+ Discrimination, which aims to prevent, inform, train staff and support educational actions to build a culture of equality and respect for others, guaranteeing each student, regardless of their sexual and affective orientation, gender identity or gender expression, equal treatment and the same attention to their educational path and inclusion. PRIDE was born out of the observation that there is a certain reluctance on the part of staff to address issues of gender, identity and sexuality, for fear of dealing with the subject in the wrong way and the feeling that they are not legitimate to understand and support. This innovative project is part of the Observatory's actions, offering LGBT+ referents the opportunity to train by observing professional practices on these issues in Europe.
