Age and Gender stereotypes remain the source of some of the most prevalent forms of discrimination adults suffer. They affect employment, everyday interactions, and access to services, goods, and health care. These stereotypes poison relations, hinder opportunities, and dictate unfair behaviour expectations for adults. Healthy interactions in society require adults to develop awareness and knowledge about how stereotypes lead to discrimination and to learn how to think critically about negative preconceptions and how to act upon them.
The EASY project will support the educational, professional, and personal development of people in Europe and beyond by reaching one of the most relevant actors in lifelong learning: adult educators. To do so, the project will harness the potential of Movies and Comics to increase the quality of formal, informal, and non-formal adult education through the promotion of capacity-building opportunities for adult education providers and relevant tools to be transversally adapted in learning sessions.

The EASY project will provide adult educators with appealing resources and tools based on Movies and comics, that are capable of effectively promote knowledge and attitudes against stereotypes to be transversally embedded and adapted to their regular sessions.

EASY Course Framework: The Course framework for adult educators will identify the subject competencies in terms of the knowledge, skills, and attitudes concerning stereotypes, how stereotypes lead to discrimination, how gender and age discrimination affects all society, and how to make adults better competent to prevent these discriminations. It includes the modules, learning outcomes, main content, and resources of the course targeted to adult educators about age and gender stereotypes.

EASY Films and Comic Strips Catalogue: The Catalogue Includes a series of films (feature and short) and comics (cartoon and/or comic strips), portraying social stereotypes and different social ways a society can be organized.

EASY Toolkit: The toolkit comprises various activities for adult educators to use in their sessions. The activities will be based on films and comic strips selected from the Catalogue to actively explore stereotypes and discrimination.
EASY Educators Guide:  The Guide introduces the EASY rational approach for the target audience (adults and adult educators) and civil society (staff and organisations, in VET, higher education or/and adult education) and illustrates how to flexibly use the assets in the Course Framework, Catalogue, and Toolkit.
