▶Objectives
Mobility is a key element of the Erasmus+ project “Girls in 21st century Europe”. It enables girls and young men to experience life and learning in contexts different from their home countries. By taking part in intercultural exchanges, the young people have had the opportunity to discover new cultures, meet different people, get to know women from all walks of life through personal accounts, and develop their independence. Mobility also enabled the girls and young men to strengthen their language skills, discover new professional fields and develop their self-confidence. Through their mobility experiences, the young people also acquired intercultural and social skills, such as communication, problem-solving and collaboration. With regard to the project's central theme, the mobility provided an opportunity to exchange views with teachers, parents and local political decision-makers on the challenges facing girls and young women in contemporary society, and to promote gender equality.
▶Activities
The project led to four mobilities in each of the participating countries, and activities linked to the themes of the mobilities were organized: In Italy, we tackled the theme of the status of women and harassment: Visit and conferences at the International Women's House in Rome. In Croatia, we worked on the theme of women in society. Meetings with women involved in the economy and tourism. In France, an exhibition entitled “Femmes XXelles” was set up at the Collège Pierre de Coubertin in October 2024, showcasing women working in the sciences. A visit to CEA Saclay and the R. Poincaré museum was also organized. 50 pupils benefited from the project: they worked with their teacher on the representation of women in advertising and attended the play "Et pendant ce temps, Simone veille". In October 2023, ten students visited the Colas research center in Magny-les-Hameaux to promote industrial careers to young girls. In Romania, the theme of “Women between professional careers and domestic activities” took us to the Parliament for a conference, as well as to the departmental library in Craïova.
