Our EGAL’ Asso project: inclusion and diversity

• Raise awareness and support small and medium associations in implementing gender equality and the fight against discrimination
• Strengthen the skills of professionals and volunteers on gender-related issues.
• Promote inclusive practices both internally (governance, HR) and externally (relations with the public).
• Highlight existing good practices in Europe through transnational cooperation.

• Intersectional approach: inclusion of all gender identities and consideration of intersecting forms of discrimination.
• Co-creation: involvement of users (associations) in the creation / development of the tools.
• Change-management approach: diagnostics, training/support, experimentation, and sharing of practices.
• European dimension: valorisation and translation of the tools into three languages (FR, EN, GR).

• R2 - Gallery of Inspiring Portraits
