Modern Men in Enlarged Europe: Developing Innovative Gender Equality Strategies

The project „Modern Men in Enlarged Europe: Developing Innovative Gender Equality Strategies” aims at fostering sustainable change in gender identities by encouraging men to take up new and modern gender roles as well as overcome hegemonic masculinity. Hereby contributing to the implementation of the ambition of the Community Framework Strategy on Gender Equality. The project evolves around the use of paternity leave as a means to confront stereotypes on men and to develop new images of men as care-givers. The four participating countries represent four quite different situations, but share the common experience that men who take up new roles are a gain for the families, the enterprises and the societies in general.

 

The project seeks to strengthen international cooperation on gender mainstreaming policies, and to transfer knowledge and good practices at the European level in the most effective way. Methods to be used are trans-national activities such as exchange and dissemination of experiences and good practices through research, publications, contacts with media, network meetings, seminars, website, informational campaigns, action weeks, international conference.
