Short-term exchange of pupils groups on the Equal Opportunities & Women's Rights topic. The leading organization, IES Infante Don Juan Manuel, organized the meeting in Spain (04.04.2022 – 08.04.2022). 4 students + 2 accompanying persons from each partner school participated (except Estonia – 3 students + 1 teacher).
During the project week, 4 international teams worked to understand better the situation in different countries in the fields of family and labor, sports, politics, and education. After the research, students in each group had to analyze women's situation at a European level regarding their topic, make some proposals to improve the equality, and make conclusions, producing flyers using Canva. Also, a PowerPoint presentation was made and defended by each team.

The priorities at this stage of the project period were to work more in-depth with the basics and prior knowledge the students had gained from previous exchanges and project work. At the same time, we were also continuously focusing on the latest living trends of young people and the youth approach. In the project design, we intend to aim for a long-term objective effect of our project work. This learning will benefit the participants to gain power and power of resistance in the area of gender equality & rights, which will lead them to better performances both privately and professionally.
During this week, we used a more advanced approach to the topic to make students learn more aware of rights, life conditions, attitudes, and lifestyles. The project aimed to let the youth gain more learning outcomes and increase personal progress and growth:
A feeling of inclusion – social skills
Acceptance of diversity
Consciousness about equality, lifestyle, attitude, and rights
Better feeling of well-being, mastering
Digital competences
