The project had three primary objectives: 1.Continued Professional Development (OBJ1): The project enhanced the skills and knowledge of NGO staff working in gender equality and sex education through structured peer-training programmes. 2.Transnational Partnership & Cooperation (OBJ2): It fostered collaboration between partners in Spain and Malta, strengthening the exchange of best practices and methodologies in gender equality education. 3.Gender Equality Awareness & Education (OBJ3): The project raised awareness through training, workshops, cultural events, and an open-access online course, ensuring that gender equality education reached a wider audience.
This project was developed to respond to the urgent need for high-quality learning opportunities in gender equality and sex education, particularly in light of the worsening inequalities caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The crisis disproportionately affected women and girls, increasing gender-based violence and deepening social and economic disparities. The project aimed to strengthen the professional capacity of NGOs working in this field, foster transnational cooperation, and create accessible educational resources to promote gender equality across different communities. By addressing these needs, the project contributed to the development of more inclusive and equitable societies.
