About us
WE Frame: Collective Views for Equality reflects and builds on the European integration process by addressing the complexities of identities and equal rights from a gender perspective. It intends to explore and promote an intergenerational understanding of gender equality and women’s rights, and the impact that intersectionality has in the real-life experiences of European citizens and third-country nationals living in the EU.
The project will thus promote an open dialogue and understanding on how recent events, including the Covid-19 pandemic, the wars in neighbouring countries and beyond, the climate crisis, and the emerging societal transformations are affecting the advancement of gender-equality awareness in Europe.
The project aims to re-read and re-consider the fundamental moments of the historical, political and cultural pathway that, from the feminist movements to nowadays, has led to a broadening of the enjoyment of the principle of equality (understood in not just a formal but a substantial sense), on the one hand, until to its concrete application in terms of intergenerational understanding and intersectionality, and consequently to its current crisis, on the other hand.
CERV-2024- CITIZENS-REM-EUINTEGRATION | CERV-AG-LS 101196808 | WE Frame | Project No. 101196808
The specific objectives are to:
- Promote a gender-sensitive understanding of Right to Equality as fundamental principle of European values
- Explore the Right to Equality as concrete and effective element in daily lives of Europeans
- Support a gender-sensitive awareness and exploitation of Right to Equality at European level
These objectives will be reached thanks to a panel of online and onsite events, a digital platform, a final short film festival.
The project will last 16 months, from April 2025 to July 2026.
