  The last meeting of the GENDER NEUTR-ALL exchange Project 2022-1-FR01-KA220-SCH-000088056 was held in Evora of Portugal. Specifically, the meetings were implemented at the Colegio de Espirito Santo (CES)-Universidade de Evora from 5-7 May 2025. 

    Professors from the Lyceum of Vartholomiou, the Lyceum of Velo Corinthia, the Agroupamento Escuola di Montemor-o-Novo and the Agroupamento Escuola di Moura from Portugal as well as from the College de Saint Exugery and the Lycee Delamare Deboutteville of Forges-les-Eaux in Normandy took part. Also participated the responsible professors from the Universities of Rouen of France, the Universidade de Evora and the University of Patras.  

    The aim of the project was the teachers training and consequently the education of students in the context of gender equality as a value and a fundamental right, as well as the understanding and deconstruction of gender stereotypes. 

    Initially, management meetings were held to discuss the progress of the project and the remaining actions until its completion. Afterwards, educational activities were carried out by the professors of the school Agrupamentos de Moura e Montemor and speeches were also given by teachers Dra Celia Peralta, Profa Isabel Mesquita, Profa Fernanda Henriques and Profa Teresa Alvarez on the subject of the project. The papers focused on the elimination of gender stereotypes, intersectionality and inclusive pedagogical practices. In addition, a session on quantitative research and dissemination strategies was included. 

    According to the Colegio de Espirito Santo (CES)-Universidade de Evora: "This project continues to build around intersectionality, i.e. the dynamic combination of gender issues with other personal characteristics or cultural identity (age, ethnicity, religion, etc.) since everyone has unique experiences of discrimination related to the assumption that working for gender equality also means working for cultural and social equality.

    Recognising the important role of the school in shaping participatory citizenship, this partnership project, based on collaboration between universities and secondary schools, aims to produce training modules and pedagogical tools to support educational staff and develop the skills of adolescents, taking into account the educational, social and cultural realities of the partner countries".
