European Union is seeking applications from the organisations for Action grants to support transnational projects to promote good practices on gender roles and to overcome gender stereotypes in education, training and in the workplace. This call for proposals for action grants is based on the 2015 annual work programme of the Rights, Equality and Citizenship Programme (REC Programme).
The call aims at contributing to the promotion of equality between women and men in education, training and the labour market. Projects should aim at changing attitudes, behaviours and practices that hamper progress towards equality and restrict the potential of women, men, girls and boys.
The indicative available budget under this call for proposals is EUR 3,350,000
Priority Areas
- To address the stereotyping of educational and career choices and to promote gender equality in education, training and career guidance;
- To attract women into male-dominated sectors or occupations, and conversely to attract men into female-dominated sectors or occupations;
