Our project reunites schools from Romania, Italy , Spain, Czech and Turkey in a joint effort to fight gender discrimination in education. We aim to promote equal opportunities to quality learning, free from gender-based or other forms of discrimination. We intent to raise awareness on gender discrimination and support communities in their attempts of eliminating it. Objectives of the partnership: 1) to know and compare other countries and cultures; 2) to broaden students horizon, to change their perspective by meeting new people and cultures, to develop tolerance and empathy; 3) to help students interact with their environment and develop their creativity through drama, photography and videos; 4) to encourage students to write their own plays presenting traditions, customs before the mobilities and perform the plays during the mobilities; 5) to give students a chance to express themselves in a correct way, to correct misunderstandings and break down prejudices; 6) to help students learn to work together, to cooperate, to listen and accept different point of views or contributions of others; 7) to develop the capacity of education policy-makers, planners, teachers and other education personnel regarding gender-sensitive approaches; to break down the prejudices using drama, dance, photography and videos; to catch students' attention to the other people in the World; 8) to create an opportunity to use foreign languages and minimize the difficulties of speaking foreign languages in public.
