Project Summary

THE WOMEN OF MY FAMILY project was born to analyze the reality of women today in different areas, based on a working hypothesis: We wanted to check if there was a greater empowerment of women and if so, to find out what the process had been like.
As a consequence, our main goal has been to assume the values of gender equality and opportunities, to improve coexistence and a more equitable and inclusive European citizenship.
As regards the objectives prioritized and achieved: 1) to practice different methodologies that promote the autonomy of learning, collaborative work, the participation of families and the critical spirit, encouraging the creation of creative products.2) Use the European idiomatic diversity, in Spanish, French, Italian and English. 3) Analyze and compare different aspects of European cultures. 4) Improve the implementation of the Digital Competence in and out of classrooms.
We are three Educational Schools participating, with students between 12 and 17 years, in subjects such as Spanish Language, Foreign Languages, Visual, Visual and Visual Education.
one of the Associated Schools has been the Lycée Maurice Janetti in Saint Maximin La Sainte Baume, France, and the other, the IIS Tommaso D’Oria in Cirié, Piedmont, Italy, having been the Coordinating Center the IES Pablo Montesino in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain.
The Project has been structured in the following phases:
The first phase (first year) has organized a research work on the process of empowerment of women. A series of interviews has been carried out on women of different generations, from the family environment or personalities around the students. The interviews were filmed in video and subtitled in French and Spanish for everybody to understand. Based on these products and in the first mobility in Italy, comparative analyzes were carried out, by following different parameters: according to age, country, socioeconomic environment. At the end, we got a document that included the conclusions of the participating students and teachers.
Starting from this document of conclusions, the second phase (second year) consisted in the making of videos that addressed some aspect of the situation of women today. In it, each partner had greater autonomy to concretize the content and approach, which they wanted to follow, respecting that the final product was a sensitization video. The second mobility in France was dedicated to share the work done and we began to plan and design, the Closing Days of the Project.
The project has finished with the design and celebration of the Closing Days, held in the Coordinating Center in the third mobility. At the Conference, and through the programmed activities, the participants generated the document of conclusions and commitments, guaranteeing equality in the participating centers as we had proposed.

In addition to the activities included in the design of the Project, a large number of Parallel Activities has been generated which has enriched the rest of the educative community. A STRENGTHENING of “The Women of My Family” has been the increase in parallel activities, which in turn have been a consequence of the IMPACT of our project.
The benefits and impact have been: The Methodological scope: A) Starting from shared interests by the cloisters and by the rest of the educative community. B) High degree of involvement of the managerial teams. C) Standardization of the participation of the families in the Centers. D) To verify that if we want a project to be successful, the chosen topic must promote methodological changes, and must be connected to the reality of students. E) Advances in students are more real, when the work has been implemented, with methodologies such as collaborative work. F) the improvement in technological aspects. G) The assumption of the importance the European language diversity has as a means of enriching communication.
The scope of education in values: A) Progress in analytical skills, with a critical spirit in our students. B) To assume the values of gender equality and opportunities, becoming aware of them and getting to know the difficulties that persist. We have concluded that any type of discrimination has common bases and origins. C) Awareness raising against gender discrimination has been established in our school and this has led to greater awareness and positioning in the face of other types of discrimination.
The Social and Citizen scope: A) to optimize resources of the administrations and NGOs that work on this topic.
The long-term benefits of the project are guaranteed in several actions: A) the incorporation of the documents generated in the project to the General Programs of our Centers and the Educational Project of the Center. B) the Incorporation of certain activities in the Plan of Action Tutorial. C) the Incorporation of the central theme worked in the different programs of the didactic departments.
