My-ID project in high schools

The My-ID project was an elaboration of the GALE "My-ID" educating pedagogy to the high school sector. The "My-ID" method is based on an analysis of heteronormativity and evidence-grounded methods to educate in a way which really changes negative attitudes and the underlying negative emotions towards gender and sexual diversity. The project ran from 30 November 2021 until 30 November 2023.

Strategy

The project employs three key strategies to support high schools in implementing the My-ID method:

  1. Developing concrete classroom activities to integrate in a spiral curriculum; a compendium with classroom activities (EN, NL, ES, IT, GR) and a guide on how to use such activities (EN, NL, ES, IT, GR)
  2. Training to empower teachers; a guide for trainers on how to develop a training (EN, NL, ES, CAT, IT, GR) and a background reader (EN, NL, ES, IT, GR)
  3. Guidance on how to inform and mentor parents; a guide on how to reach out to parents (EN, NL, CAT), a model-brochure for school parents (EN, NL, ES, IT, GR) and a leaflet for parents in general (EN, NL, ES, IT, Greek, Arabic , Catalonian, Turkish, Romanian, Chinese). Regrettably, some of the versions of the outreach guide to parents are not published here because GALE could not agree with their contents.
