▶Objectives
The project’s objectives are to promote a positive school climate with enhanced gender equality and to contribute to the creation of safe schools where everyone is protected from gender-based violence. Specifically, the project aims to enhance teachers’, school psychologists’ and school social workers’ understanding of anti-feminism, toxic masculinity and related common EU values, and to build their capacities for dealing with these issues.

Based on these, it then offers in-person training and online workshops. It also provides tailored informational material and offers online consulting sessions. To raise awareness of the issue’s gravity and exchange about good practices, the project foresees participation in relevant international events.
