Gender equality is one of the values guiding the action of the European Union (EU). Although the EU is at the global forefront when it comes to promoting gender equality and is therefore "one of the places where women can feel safest and most protected" (Eurocid, 2022), violence, discrimination, and inequality (of treatment, access, rights, duties, etc.) experienced by women are still a reality that must be fought. Indeed, despite all the advances, "not all women benefit from security and equality" (Eurocid, 2022). According to the EU Strategy for Gender Equality 2020-2025, for example, 33% of women have experienced physical and/or sexual violence; 55% of women have experienced sexual harassment; 44% of Europeans consider that women's most important role is to take care of the home and family; in the EU, women devote 22 hours/week to family and domestic tasks and men only 9; the difference between the employment rate of women and men in the EU is 11.6%; the gender pay gap in the EU is 15.7%; women represent only 7.5% of board chairpersons; only 32.2% of members of the EU national parliaments are women. These figures are unacceptable and denote the violence, discrimination, and gender inequality that still plagues our society. This is therefore a multidimensional problem that needed to be tackled urgently. 2 - Needs Because we wanted to contribute to the fight against the multidimensional social problem identified, thus supporting the promotion of gender equality at all levels, we started work to understand what is urgent to be done and what our contribution could be. Considering young people as the future of society, we easily realize that it is fundamental to invest in working on this issue with them, educating them from an early age on the urgency of combating and preventing violence, discrimination, and gender inequality. More informed, more aware, and more responsible young people will be young people and future adults more inclined to adopt inclusive, fair, and respectful behaviours. Given the general need to discuss and work on this issue with young people, educating them from an early age on gender equality in all dimensions, we have identified the additional needs of: - Raise young people's awareness of this theme, leading them to reflect on and identify existing inequalities (in all their forms), so that they are motivated to act proactively against them; - To empower young people so that they can assume themselves as proactive agents in the fight against the social problem and so that they can even become influential agents of their peers, families, communities, and other relevant stakeholders in the fight against the problem; - To connect young people from different European countries, including young people in situations with fewer opportunities, so that they understand the different European realities and, at the same time, the common challenges and obstacles (especially in connection with the identified social problem), supporting the union in favour of solving them. 3 - Solution and Objectives Considering the social problem and the identified needs, we wanted to bring together young people from different European countries, including young people facing specific and redoubled challenges (with fewer opportunities) who, through this intercultural contact, carried out awareness-raising activities and the development of key competences. These activities were crucial for young people to understand the problems in society, to become aware of them and want to help solve them, and to be able to be agents of change on these issues. With the general objective of contributing to gender equality in Europe, in all spheres, used a participative approach, counting on the direct and close involvement of the young participants throughout the whole life cycle of the project. The specific objectives of the project were: - Raise awareness among young people about the reality of gender violence, discrimination, and inequality in Europe and their countries; - To motivate young people to want to assume themselves as active agents in the fight against the social problem; - To promote the development of key competences that enable young people to be proactive in preventing and combating the social problem; - To raise young people's awareness of European values, including equality, diversity, respect, unity, non-discrimination, freedom, and justice; - To raise young people's awareness of the importance of their role as agents of social change in combating the social problem, with a special focus on young boys.
