Nowadays we hear so often about equality<\/strong>, equal opportunities<\/strong>, gender, diversity<\/strong>, inclusion.<\/strong>. We read in different newspapers or online portals about the importance to spread a culture of gender equality and encourage the overcoming of gender stereotypes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why all of this? Why do we have to talk about equality? Why do we have to discuss about gender stereotypes and learn the prevention strategies? Why is it important to facilitate this discussion and what can we do to contribute to a better future?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This October we are organising several events to discuss with you about these questions and to show you what we can all do in practice to contribute to a future free of gender-based violence!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Awareness raising event for teachers and policy makers<\/strong> \u201cEU school and Europe: educational alliances to promote equality and excellence<\/strong>\u201d will be held on the 10th of October 2019 at the Botanical Garden of Palermo. Here we will present the SAFER \u2013 Systematic Approaches for Equality of gendeR project<\/strong><\/a> and what has been done in the schools across Palermo, SAFER external evaluators will talk about \u201cSchool gender or genre\u201d and psychological aspects of gender equality. We will present you tools and methods that can be used in schools to prevent gender stereotyping and we will present other our initiatives for social inclusion and intercultural integration, against early school leaving and educational poverty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another event for children and parents<\/strong> \u201cEmbrace equality now!\u201d<\/strong> will be held on the 11th of October at the Diaconal Center \u201cLa Noce\u201d - Istituto Valdese in Palermo.
