THE CERV V.O.I.C.E PROJECT

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 gender inequality, with a particular 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. It is led by the Community Association within the City of Arques, a VIF® member municipality since 2024, which has partnered with VIF® to work specifically on physical activity and the role of sport and exercise in promoting gender equality among girls and boys.

The project is funded by the European CERV programme (Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values) and brings together a European consortium of experts in social inclusion, anti-discrimination, gender equality awareness and non-formal education across six countries: France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Romania and Lithuania.

OBJECTIVES OF THE V.O.I.C.E. PROJECT

  • Engage educational communities to improve understanding and support for gender equality in caregiving responsibilities.
  • Raise awareness of persistent sexist stereotypes and promote an equitable distribution of caregiving responsibilities.
  • Implement community initiatives that empower individuals and encourage active participation in promoting equality between men and women.
