4th Managerial Meeting of the Project CONVEY in Ireland

Cork, 3-4 May, 2018

“The Smile of the Child” participated in the 4th Managerial Meeting of the European Project “CONVEY - Counteracting sexual violence and harassment: Engaging Youth in schools in digital education on gender stereotyping”, held on May 3th-4h, 2018 in Cork (Ireland).

The CONVEY project consists of Organisations from 6 European countries: CESIE (Italy), “The Smile of the Child” (Greece), “Hope For Children” CRC Policy Center (Cyprus), Sexual Violence Centre Cork (Ireland), Gender Alternatives (Bulgaria), Westminster City Council (United Kingdom).

During the meeting the content of the educational digital game/application was presented. It was developed with the aim to support teachers in raising the awareness among young people on gender stereotypes and the ways these are related to sexual violence and harassment. The game is based on the results of discussion meetings held in 6 countries with groups of students (14-18 years old) as well as with women survivors of sexual violence and/or harassment.

Moreover, the educational material for teachers’ training and activities was also presented and discussed. This material will be used for young people’s education and awareness raising. The teachers’ training seminars and young people’s education and awareness raising activities will be implemented during the school year 2018-2019.

The Project CONVEY is co-funded by the REC Programme of the European Union.
