Women here and there-European women today

Description

The present project consists of the proposal and development of a cultural and social exchange program among the high schools Joan Fuster from Sueca (Spain), Enrico Fermi (Italy) and Mariengymnasium (Germany). This program lets students and the educational community know other lifestyles and the women role in different areas such as sports, research, arts and science. It will also contribute to coeducation creating an inclusive and equal environment, eliminating any situation of discriminatory.The aim lies in analyzing and making students conscious of the present women’s situation in our society as well as its evolution throughout history thanks to the different activities which will take place during the two years' span of the project.This exchange of cultural aims, lifestyles, ideas, trainings and experiences among students, teachers and the rest of the educational and local communities from three different educational centres of the European Union, increases the knowledge as well as the improvement of social skills from the participants. Moreover, it also lets students to develop all the competences (DeSeCo, 2003), i.e., the skills focused on the application of knowledge as behaviour, attitude, motivation, ethical values, emotions or other elements which are applied to different academic, social and professional contexts. These are learning resources and strategies which are considered as essential from an integrating approach in order to reach a complete personal, social and professional development which fits the present day society.The participants in this project are boys and girls between 15 and 17 years old who will participate in the program in an active, cooperative and collaborative way. A large group of students will be involved in the project activities, even if only 10 students and 2 teachers from each school will take part in each LTTA.In order to choose the students who will participate in the “short term” exchange the three centres will consider several criteria. Thus, the type of mobility performed in this project are: short term exchange (five days) for students and accompanying teachers; and short term training events (three days) for teachers.The activities will be performed continuously, using previous experiences and knowledge from the different partners of the project through the national agency platform eTwinning (Twinspace), digital media as email, Skype, Google Drive… One example of these activities is the creation in pairs of an “Avatar”, a female virtual character which shows some features invented by the students. This character will travel to the partner’s countries, Spain, Italy and Germany, in order to increase the sociocultural and historical knowledge. The aforementioned exercises will benefit the relationship between pupils as well as teachers from the other countries. Moreover, it will also improve their English language skills, which can help their future opportunities as they will acquire more autonomy to manage everyday and professional life situations.In order to keep data some surveys will be offered in order to motivate and increase the participation of the students. The results will be analyzed in a regular way and they will be evoked in some tables to observe the differences and to inform the success of the objectives through the different activities. All the schools will be regularly informed and they will be in contact to check their development.The evaluation of the different activities will also be performed continuously and regularly using the document-rubric which helps all the partners in the assessment process. This will enable us to evaluate objectively through the pre-established indicators, and analyze the outcomes of the activities in order to consider their success or failure.The student’s role will be essential in the achievement of the project and they will show their experiences and results through presentations performed in other schools and shared online. Regarding the teachers, we will be supported by the active group as well as the educational community from the three centres.In conclusion, working on this project we are looking for, on the one hand, a promotion of the cultural exchange (Erasmus+) and a benefit of a cooperating and educational innovation training. And, on the other hand, we can also make students and teachers aware of the present differences in gender in society. Thus we expect to eliminate in our students the sexual myths and stereotypes associated to men and women due to their socio-cultural conditions.Key words: gender, teenagers, female role, social context.
