Description

The content of our project is one of the EU targets. According to the 2016-2019 Strategic Participation for Gender Equality report, the promotion of gender equality is a fundamental activity for the EU: equality between women and men is a fundamental EU value and a driving force for the EU goal and economic growth.Even in the most developed European countries, prejudices against women continue. This project was created in 2018 to identify these prejudices, to recognize women who make a difference and to raise awareness in the eTwinning platform. Our Twinning project was awarded with national and European quality labels. We have decided to turn our project into an Erasmus + project .The schools in Germany, Belgium and Lithuania joined the schools in Romania and Turkey which are in eTwinning projects. The results of the survey conducted by U.S News & World Report with more than 9,000 women shows that Germany and Belgium are among the countries where women can live most comfortably. Lithuania ranks first in the list of women engaged in science.The groups in mobility activities will be consist of students and teachers. Each group plans to participate in activities with 5 students and 2 teachers. Since the topic of our project is about women, we are considering positive discrimination for our girl students and we think it is appropriate at least 3 girls from each country to participate in every mobility. In each mobility, among these students, at least one student must be the participant who has fewer opportunities. These may be economic difficulties, students with integration problems due to internal or external migration, or participants who have a permanent disability with no problem in traveling. Due to the nature of our schools, our age group is between15-17. In particular, the students who are actively participating in our eTwinning project will be selected.The Council of Europe Gender Equality Strategies is the guidelines of the objectives we wish to achieve in this project. The first strategic aim is to fight against sex stereotypes and sexism.Gender stereotypes limit the development of girls 'and boys', males 'and females' natural abilities and capacity, as well as their educational and professional experiences and opportunities in their lives in general. They can isolate women from working life or “women's jobs” are offered as a separate category. Based on the realities in the countries of our 5 schools, we have planned activities to prevent these prejudices.For example, female participation in the labour force in Turkey is about 35%. Many women's duties do not go beyond being mothers or spouses. For this reason we have planned activities in Turkey on women and social entrepreneurship. It is our purpose to examine the stories from housewives to business life and to feed the social entrepreneur side of our students.Our school in Romania is close to the oil reserves and in this area, women work in many areas, which are generally considered as men's jobs. We will visit them and listen to the difficulties they experience.Belgium and Germany are the in the list of top 10 countries where women can live most comfortably in Europe. For this reason, we will study on women's rights in our schools in these countries. Our Belgian school is preparing studies on wartime women and on women, who lead peace,We will learn about the challenges women face in a well-developed country like Germany. We will share the result of our research with articles and drawings on school notice boards.Our study will be related to science and women In Lithuania, where the number of women who work in science are more than men. We will experience the struggle of science women in relation to gender discrimination. In every mobility, we will try to find answer the question, ‘Is there equality?’. With these studies, we want to show our girls entrepreneurship, how to struggle for their rights, how to avoid the wars caused by men, how to win the spirit of stereotyped ideas destruction, and to show male students that equality can only exist with a common struggle.Of course, with the acceptance of our Erasmus + project, we plan to establish a new eTwinning Project called “Productive women”. The topics in our Erasmus+ project will be studied first on the eTwinning platform. Mobility is short, but eTwinning offers us a longer and more diverse field of study.There is also a webinar section of this platform for the execution and dissemination of our project. In the near term of our project conclusion, each school will prepare a webinar in its own language for other schools in their country. Furthermore two webinars in English will be prepared to spread our project all around the world.For our project to influence as many areas as possible, local activities are planned such as informing national press, web page designing, eJournal creating, School Education Gateway and preparation of article to publish in related fields.
