Diversity in all its dimensions has to be taken into account in the learning context, at school, as it is fundamental for facilitating cultural inclusion and equality. However it is not easy for teachers to adapt their teaching to this diversity, whether it is social, economic or cultural. Gender equality is particularly essential for the inclusion of all. Perception of gender is rooted in the family tradition and social contexts but also within media practices, vectors of stereotypical representations.However teachers are poorly trained in gender representation and stereotypes conveyed through the media, especially if their students have media and cultural practices ignored by the teachers. It’s why eMERGE project (e-Media Education about Representations of GEnder) aims to empower teachers’ skills in media literacy in order to deconstruct with students the gender representations and stereotypes rooted in their media practices and pop cultures.eMERGE is conducted by a consortium of four teachers training centres/university in media literacy field issued from four diverse European countries: Media Animation (Belgium, coordinator), Mediawise Society (Romania), University of Palermo (Italy) and Athens Lifelong learning Institute (Greece). To achieve its goal, eMERGE project aims the following specific objectives: 1. To co-design a methodological approach that would allow each teacher to seek and identify students' media practices and consummation, especially with targets groups issued from diversity.2. To develop teachers’ media literacy skills about gender representation in pop culture/cultural studies.3. To empower teachers with educational approach in media education about gender stereotypes, adaptable to their student's media and cultural practices.4. To raise students' awareness (from secondary school) about gender representations in media and the effects on citizenship and living together of the class/school community including through local digital media productions. 5. To foster citizenship within local communities through the elaboration and valorization of students digital media production. 6. To spread the tested methods and approaches developed within this project into initial and in-service teachers training and to deliver the tools as open educational resources. 7. To cross at a European level the approaches and challenges about gender issues and popular media practices and its effects on gender equality, diversity and citizenship in school communities.As concrete outputs, the eMERGE project will produce (as OER): • A kit of methodological activities for teachers to seek media and cultural practices of its group of students from diversity (EN, FR, GR, IT, RO)• An e-learning module of media education about gender issues in media and pop culture (FR, GR, IT, RO) • A media education toolkit about gender issues in media and pop cultures, adaptable to any learning context of diversity (EN, FR, GR, IT, RO)• An online guide: “media education to improve gender equality at school” (EN, FR, GR, IT, RO). eMERGE project is dedicated to teachers in position, actively involved in the project as co-designers of the methodology and also as beneficiaries of training and tools. Finally students will benefit from the educational activities and be actively involved in the production of media campaigns within schools and local communities. Through this project, the consortium would like to raise awareness about gender equality and more generally diversity inclusiveness in schools and local communities. They hope to inspire practices and similar experiences in other schools contexts thanks to the methodological approach and the open access to the resources. eMERGE project offers also to in-service teachers training institutes the opportunity of new training for their professional development and invite them to innovate with methods and tools about topics too rarely investigated. The consortium expects also at a national and European level to raise awareness towards stakeholders about how media education is a relevant approach for better including diversity in schools.
