Aidos, EndFGM European Network (Brussels), Apf (Portugal), and Medicos Del Mundo (Spain) implemented the Mind the Gap project, co-funded by the European Union, to help address gender stereotypes in education in Italy, Spain, and Portugal by raising awareness among faculty, nonformal educators, and university student(s) about how stereotypes and gender roles influence girls’ and boys’ study, work, and life choices.

– A guide on what gender stereotypes in school are and how they can be avoided
– Training of teaching staff, educators and students
– Exchange meetings between partners, training beneficiaries, teachers, educators, parents, girls and boys
– Awareness-raising events
