"<< Background >>The project aims to tackle the issue of street harassment (i.e. catcalling) and stereotypical gender norms & roles in Europe through the creation of a course for youngsters on the threshold of forming & fostering their gender identity. This education-based approach finds support in the policy recommendations of the International Women’s Initiative (2020), and innovatively implements the recommendations on preventing and combating sexism by the Council of Europe (2019) as well as the Gender Equality Strategy 2020-2025 of the European Commission (2020) that includes the ending of gender-based violence and the challenging of gender stereotypes.<< Objectives >>The project will entail objectives on several levels: first to prevent male individuals from becoming perpetrators while transforming them into male allies and reducing toxic masculinity; and second to strengthen female individuals with regards to self- confidence and self-efficacy while encouraging them in finding ways to deal with and encounter street harassment (and sexual violence in general). At the same time, the project sets out to break gender roles, norms & stereotypes for men, women and all genders that usually fall out of the frame. Rethinking gender will have an impact on the awareness on and attitude towards sexual harassment, gender inequality and identity and will lead to higher self- efficacy, sensitivity and the intention not to display or accept violent, discriminatory or stereotypical behaviours. Simultaneously, the EquAlley will engage and promote the exchange among youngster, which has been identified as fruitful strategy to decrease stereotypes and discrimination. The project aims at qualifying educators for teaching about these topics through the preparation and creation of an inclusive, blended-learning course and its guide. Therefore, EquAlley sets out to decrease gender inequality and social injustice by re-thinking gender roles, stereotypes and discriminatory behaviours.<< Implementation >>The course will be based on a needs assessment and booklet on the topic, which will be mainly collected by focus group conduction with educators in all partner countries. This assessment will be followed by the creation of a blended-learning course for youngsters at an age from 12-16 where gender identity and norms begin to form and foster. There will be a course offered in a mixed-gendered setting to promote and ensure exchange among all youngsters in this topic, but also a gender-specific course for male and female groups respectively - non-binary/queer youngsters will be free to choose if and which of the gender-specific course to attend to - to create a safe and target-directed environment. To ensure a high quality, the course will be tested in a pilot action in all partner countries. To guarantee standards and guidelines for this pilot actioning as well as provide educators with the competencies and sensitivity to teach on these very important issues without perpetrating stereotypes or ""othering"" of non-binary individuals, a learning teaching and training activity with educators from each partner country will take place in Spain. The final guide will be presented within multiplier events in all partner countries, while transnational meetings throughout the project implementation will guarantee EquAlley to implement high quality products with a regional, national, european and international reach.<< Results >>EquAlley will have three main results: a booklet on the topics based on qualitative data collection in all partner countries; a course directed to youngsters at the age from 12-16 to teach on the topics, and a final guide (i.e. course manual) for educators about the course. All project results will be made available for free and in all partner countries languages (+English) on the EquAlley website as well as on social media channels. Through a broad and experience-based sharing, promotion and exploitation of the project results through the website, social media channels, newsletters & flyers, the focus groups, the pilot action implementation training and the pilot actions, as much as through the multiplier events EquAlley will be spread."
