Programme:

What is the project about?

The MaRvel: (Re)veiled Masculinities project aims to challenge gender stereotypes associated with hegemonic masculinities. It aims to create and implement a structured intervention programme, which will be built on the basis of a previously constructed documentary on the theme. The programme will be implemented with 25 boys, aged between 13 and 18, sheltered in the Educational Centres of Santo António (Oporto) and Santa Clara (Vila do Conde) and in the Professional Institute of Terço (Oporto).

It is an Open Call #2 project: Projects to combat sex segregation in educational and professional choices and discrimination in the labour market

What will it achieve?

  • To create and implement a structured intervention program, with 25 boys, between 13 and 18 years old, institutionalized in the Educational Centres of Santo António (Porto) and Santa Clara (Vila do Conde) and in the Professional Institute of Terço (Porto).
  • To create a documentary to understand gender as a social construction that influences the way interpersonal relationships are structurally constructed; masculinities, considering their broad impact on boys' development, adopting a developmental perspective (e.g., social learning processes by observing role models) and an intersectional perspective (transversal line of ENIND), considering masculinities as plural and diverse. The documentary will be made in collaboration with Bagabaga Studios and will be subtitled in English and made available online, on the project's website.
  • To organise debates, using the screening of the documentary film, in the 32 partner schools, with a total of 1840 young people (920 boys and 920 girls) aged between 13 and 18, in the municipalities of Porto, Matosinhos, Vila Nova de Gaia, Gondomar, Braga, Águeda, Albergaria-a-Velha, Guimarães, and Barcelos.
  • Training teachers and NGOs, with a view to replicating the programme in the future.
  • To provide consultancy to the professionals trained with a view to replicating the programme.
  • Raising awareness among strategic audiences.
