Gender equality

About the project: With youth exchange we follow one of the most important aims of Erasmus+ programme: gender equality. Europe has changed during the history, where decades ago women were supposed to be the ones who took care of the household, children and their husband – they were housewives. They did not have the right to voice their opinion, they did not vote, they were not supposed to have a job – they were not supposed to be independent. Men were the bread-earners, “bosses” of the household. Now, women and men have equal rights – women can vote, express their opinion, they can have a job and can even apply for the same job as men etc. However, in practice it is not always the way it seems in theory. Therefore, the participants will research the position of women and men in different European countries; including the position in the field of employment.
The aim of the project is that young participants gain awareness of how important it is to implement the principle of people equality regardless of sex or any other personal circumstances.
