WHAT IS THE V.O.I.C.E. PROJECT?

The V.O.I.C.E. project (Vision, Opportunity, Inclusion, Community, Equality) is a European social innovation initiative designed to address the root causes of the gender gap, with a focus on the transformative power of education. The project brings together a European consortium of experts in social inclusion, anti-discrimination, gender awareness, and non-formal education. The project is led by the Community Association within the City of Arques (a member of the VIF program since 2024), which has partnered with VIF to specifically work on the area of physical activity and the role of sports and exercise in promoting gender equality among girls and boys.
