The action-research
Democratic citizenship is learned in
various processes and
social and political institutions
Therefore, we have activated at the Faculty of Humanities, with the
approval of the Department for Rights and Equal Opportunities, a path
in the promotion of culture and gender equality called "Women, Politics
and institutions - training programs for the promotion of culture and
gender equality".

empowerment

Research goals:
• to promote the study and research on gender relations,
the role of imagination in the construction of cultural
models, the relationship between identity and
otherness, the value of differences and encouraging
the need for new information, aimed at spreading
awareness of their rights for the satisfaction of needs
emerging in the social, cultural, professional,
educational field;
• create a public space in which to experiment original
forms of sociality in which to state our ethical and
political
options.

The teachings were articulated around a number of disciplinary nods
in the specifications for:
• the social construction of "gender”;
• the profound changes that now invest educational
institutions and training systems, the world of work,
organizations and public and private relational
configurations;
• the access of women to forms of power;
• cultural conditioning in the perception and representation
of the female body and sexuality;
• good practices and policies of combining work and
family life.

Methodology
Methods of choice of research and intervention were
training methods of gender that help develop self-reflection
and knowledge of the trainees. Therefore, we used in the
work of classroom techniques such as team working with a
focus on internal relations, narrative tools, experiential
approaches and the adoption of languages that facilitate the
emergence of female subjectivity.
10
Narrative methodology
It’s a valid instrument encouraging the reflexion and the
self-knowledge of forming-subjects, and developing selfreflexive, meta-emotional and meta-cognitive faculties; that
is why we will employ techniques as group and individual
works, autobiography, narrations, simulations and studycase, allowing to help the establishment and the expression
of identity, and the legitimization of sexed subjectivity
through self-report.
11
Gender evolutions. From stereotypes to
citizenship
Multidisciplinary approach: contributions from different
disciplines (pedagogy, psychology, philosophy, politics,
sociology, law, etc ...)
Use of various teaching materials: books and articles,
photos and artistic products, audiovisual products (TV
programs, films, spots), autobiographical instruments.
12
Main results
The project has allowed the construction of a sense
of belonging, of citizenship through analysis and
evaluation of their educational history and / or
work. It is also noted the importance of the relation
between training participants; attention to the
resources of each individual, the enhancement of
affect women.
13
Possible strategies to
promote
1. construct some processes of analysis and research in
educational settings
2. identify specific training needs in relation to specific
social needs and expertise of analysis and design of
educational activities
3. actions designed to empower individuals and
communities

Furthermore, both the first and the second edition have
been joined by numerous events in synergy with each
other, now proposed by the teachers, now by the learners
themselves, now by the local authorities, helping to create
a real network on the issues which were widely discussed
and explored in the course of the two editions.
