THE GENDER TALK
Education on gender equality must start at a young age and never stop.
THE GENDER TALK is an online platform aimed at opening a discussion with and for young people on issues such as mental wellbeing, affectivity and sexuality, gender roles and stereotypes.
We address young people, professionals and families. We believe that it is only through the promotion of psychological wellbeing and through knowledge, dialogue and experimentation that we can raise awareness on these issues and create real change in society, aimed at creating more genuine and open communities, combating inequalities, discrimination, and gender-based violence.

On THE GENDER TALK, you can find:
Free educational resources – The resources target young people, school staff, mental health professionals, families and caregivers, and focus on 4 different topics. Our goal is to educate young people and to improve adults capacity to provide gender-specific appropriate support to children in their general well-being and particularly in case of incidents of GBV, and to promote comprehensive sex education.
Access to the itinerant counselling desks – We are launching school counselling desks in several schools around Europe, aimed at strengthening existing psychological support mechanisms and offering young people aged 10-14 a safe space where they can share their worries and doubts with trained professionals, supporting their wellbeing, prevent gender-based violence and promote healthy relationships, especially in the aftermath of the pandemic.

THE GENDER TALK is developed under the REBOOT NOW project, an EU-funded initiative aiming to address challenges concerning children’s wellbeing, mental health and safety in general, but particularly their increased exposure to gender-based violence (GBV) and the foreseeable difficulty to create safe and healthy relationships. The project aims to:
- Prevent and detect gender-based violence among young people (aged 10-14) through targeted psychological support actions and educational activities at schools, involving also families and older peers (aged 15-18).
- Support the recovery of young people from difficulties that have arisen from measures against the Covid-19 pandemic through positive actions that support well-being.
- Build the capacity of professionals (teachers/psychologists) and families in prevention and identification of cases of gender-based violence among young people.
REBOOT NOW is funded by the Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values Programme (CERV) of the European Commission (2021-2027).
