Gender inequality is a phenomenon, which plays role both in formal and in non-formal aspects of life. In addition to various gender stereotypes are common, population has a low-level awareness on issues of gender equality, and there is no reliable and regularly collected statistics. If we talk about both of national and sub-national levels such fact as gender inequality has it`s different ways of expression and complicates the development and implementation of the effective political actions.

In Ukraine the gender inequality is practically have not analyzed at the institutional level. That is why the gender inequality researches, giving information, gender equality promotion based on the European values and the best experience and extremely valuable and necessary for us.

The implementation of this project is relevant for acceptance the European values, culture, and the gender equality promotion and getting rid of conservative patriarchal stereotypes. This point is also valuable for the formation of a new Ukrainian school as gender neutral.

Therefore, the main purpose of the project is popularization points of gender issues among different strata of population and drawing public attention to the gender equality promotion and universal inclusion of gender dimensions.

The project implementation in the direction of researching and distribution of the European experience in world gender researches will be the prolongation of the cooperation with European programs Tempus (2009-2018, Project “Educational measurements, adopted to EU standards”) and ERASMUS + (2015-2018, Project “Educational program “Gender studios: the step to the democracy and peace in countries which have different traditions and situated near the borders of European Union”).

Because if this we can say that our cooperation experience, professionalism and pedagogical experience make the good basis of project implementation and effective broadcast of its results to another people, who are not directly take part on the project, such as bachelors, masters and postgraduate students.

The project implementation at the sub-national and institutional levels involves a number of different activities such as forming of students’ and teachers’ abilities to navigate the peculiarities of international European practice in the field of gender educational statistics, gender stereotypes and prejudices in world education and gender education technologies.

It will take place in the form of course implementation in the educational process of pedagogical specialties and in the form of summer schools also. In addition to meetings, educational visits, promo actions were planned. Among participants will be all society in general, teachers, personnel of the regional statistics office, personnel of sociological services of the region, medical personnel.

Finally, it is planned to organize a research work to generalize and systematize the results of the project. It will include the study of the main approaches in the EU and Ukraine to gender equality and adaptation of complex gender indices to the subnational and institutional levels. It is planned to acquaint politicians, businesspersons, specialists and the public with the results of scientific research work and plan the use of project materials to promote and finance gender equality.

Target group: teachers; students of various bachelor's and master's programs of the university; management staff of universities; representatives of the public organization "University of the Third Age "Inspiration"; teachers of humanitarian departments of the Central Ukrainian National Technical University; teachers of the Kirovohrad region; members of the Small Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in the Kirovohrad region.

The project envisages the following results:

• Creation of a package of educational materials highlighting various aspects of gender equality at the national and sub-national levels, ready to be implemented in educational programs for all specialties of the university;
• Creation of the monograph "Gender dimensions of Ukraine: adaptation of gender indices to the subnational level" on the adaptation of complex gender indices to the subnational and institutional levels and methodologies for implementing adapted gender indices in the practice of the statistical structure of Ukraine and its regions, as well as in statistical corporate services; in the activity of health care structures; in the practice of functioning of sociological structures; in political decisions.
• Promotion of gender issues among the public.

During the three years of implementation of the project "Subnational gender equality: balance of EU values and Ukrainian realities", important steps have been taken towards integrating the principles of gender mainstreaming into the educational space. The key components of this activity were the student-chosen course "Fundamentals of gender mainstreaming methodology" and the annual summer schools "Gender Equality Training".

The project envisaged teaching in the amount of 120 academic hours per year for all project team members. The course “Fundamentals of gender mainstreaming methodology” was taught annually in the amount of 4.5 ECTS credits (of which 75 classroom hours, 60 hours of independent work by students). The annual work of the summer school “Gender Equality Training” envisaged teaching in the amount of 1.5 ECTS credits (45 hours within the module).

 ADVERTISING EVENTS FOR SENIOR CLASS TEACHERS "GENDER STEREOTYPES IN SCHOOL TEXTBOOKS AND THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS"

As part of the implementation of the international project Erasmus+ Jean Monnet Module "Subnational Gender Equality: Balancing EU Values ​​and Ukrainian Realities", promotional events for high school teachers were held twice a year, during which they were supposed to identify gender stereotypes and prejudices in Ukrainian education and organize training in specific gender education technologies that are common in EU countries.

During 2022–2025, six thematic advertising events were organized, aimed at raising teachers' awareness of current issues of gender equality in the general secondary education system. The participants of the events were teachers of various specialties, heads of educational institutions, and scientific supervisors of participants of the Kirovograd Junior Academy of Sciences.

Among the key topics discussed at the events were feminitives as a tool for the visibility of women in the linguistic space (10/18/2022), gender aspects of the hidden curriculum (12/19/2022), prospects for a gender-oriented school within the National School of Education (08/18/2023), legislative mechanisms for overcoming gender inequality (10/20/2023), feminization of education and its consequences (04/30/2025), as well as the methodology for gender expertise of educational content (06/01/2025).

The activities are characterized by a practical focus: discussions, role-playing games, question-and-answer sessions, practical exercises on analyzing gender indices. The results of these activities contribute not only to a deeper understanding of gender issues among educators, but also to the dissemination of the methodological basis of gender expertise at the local level.

Materials and reports of the events are available on the official resources of the Volodymyr Vynnychenko Central Ukrainian State University.

PROMOTIONAL EVENT 1 (10/18/2022)

The topic “Reflection of gender inequality of Ukrainian society in the system of general secondary education” is relevant from the standpoint of highlighting the problem of gender inequality in society and reproducing gender inequality in the system of general secondary education. Therefore, on October 18 (Tuesday), 2022 at 3:00 p.m., a promotional event for teachers was held on the Google Meet platform as part of a seminar meeting of the Interdisciplinary Scientific Center for Applied Research. The speakers of the seminar were recognized professionals in the field of word formation and literature - Associate Professor Lesya Kindei and Professor Serhiy Mykhyda. The main questions for consideration were: For what purpose were feminitives introduced? Are there feminitives in other languages? Are all feminitives from the names of professions melodious? Are we not belittling the role of women by “driving” them into a separate category? Why does society perceive feminitives so difficult? About 20 teachers of various specialties from the Municipal Institution "Lyceum Naukovyi" of the Kropyvnytskyi City Council joined the promotion.

PROMOTIONAL EVENT 2 (12/19/2022)

As part of the project, a meeting was held with participants of the Kirovohrad Small Academy of Sciences in the field of "Mathematics", who represented secondary schools in various territorial communities of the city and region, as well as with their mentors and scientific supervisors. The event was attended by 7 teachers.

When conducting a promotional campaign with teachers on the topic "Gender aspects of the "hidden" curriculum", its essence, structure and impact on the effectiveness of education were considered. It was determined that the "hidden" curriculum (program) is a term used to describe unwritten, unofficial, unintentional and undocumented life lessons, stereotypes and virtues that students learn during their studies. For promotional materials, see Section 5 of the collection «Compendium: a set of scientific and methodological materials for the project "Subnational gender equality: balance of EU values ​​and Ukrainian realities" No. 101047451»

PROMOTIONAL EVENT 3 (08/18/2023)

The promotional event was implemented as part of an unscheduled Summer School for directors and deputy directors of city schools in Kropyvnytskyi. The event was attended by 12 education workers.

The topic "Gender-Oriented School as a Perspective of the National Secondary School" was considered in two stages. At the first stage, through a "questions and answers" session, the essence of such basic concepts as: sex and gender, sexual orientation and gender identification, gender prejudices (stereotypes), gender equality and gender justice was explored.

At the second stage, in the form of a role-playing game in small groups, various ideas about the meaning and application of the gender approach to education were considered (separate education of boys and girls; sexual education in a sexual or physiological aspect; taking into account the psychophysiological differences of boys and girls; gender-role approach in the educational process, etc.). Based on the analysis of research by European scientists, the existence of three alternative directions turned out to be basic: 1) differential; 2) social-constructivist; 3) radical-pluralistic. Pedagogical workers in small groups processed the information prepared by the project implementers on one of the approaches and presented it to other participants.

Within the framework of the project " Subnational gender equality: balance of EU values and Ukrainian realities", a number of key results (deliverables) were planned, aimed at developing research potential, improving the methodology of gender analysis, adapting European tools to the Ukrainian context, and ensuring wide access to the developed materials. All planned results were successfully achieved within the specified deadlines.

Deliverable 1. MONOGRAPH “GENDER DIMENSIONS OF UKRAINE: ADAPTATION OF GENDER INDICES TO THE SUBNATIONAL LEVEL”

The monograph is devoted to the study of complex gender indices and their adaptation to Ukrainian realities. It aims to substantiate the importance of complex gender indices as a tool for assessing the level of gender equality and forming effective management decisions. The results of the study can be used to develop policies aimed at reducing gender disparities, both at the national and regional levels. The monograph will be useful to scientists, experts in the field of social policy, as well as representatives of state authorities and non-governmental organizations working to solve gender equality problems.

Deliverable 2. INFOGRAPHICS AND ANALYTICS WITH REGIONALLY ADAPTED COMPLEX GENDER INDICES

During the work of the project, statistical lifters with regionally adapted gender indices were developed and published, which can serve as a useful analytical tool in the field of decision-making and policy planning, as well as in the education and health care systems.

Due to martial law in Ukraine, most of the statistical data was not published by the State Statistics Service of Ukraine, therefore all adaptations of complex gender indices were performed using the latest complete set of data (2020-2021).

A significant result of presenting the adaptation of gender indices to a wide range of stakeholders was the Analytical Report “Regional Gender Gap Index for Ukraine in 2020”.

The published analytical report on the adaptation of gender indices at the subnational level is an extremely important resource for a wide range of stakeholders - scientists, analysts, regional managers, representatives of local governments, educators, and public activists.

The report is distinguished by its high analytical value, qualitatively structured data, as well as visually attractive infographics that facilitate easy perception of information. It is worth noting the gender profiles of the regions of Ukraine, which clearly demonstrate regional differences in ensuring gender equality, based on adapted complex gender indices.

This document is an example of an effective combination of European approaches to measuring gender equality with Ukrainian realities, and its results can be used as a basis for forming informed management decisions and further policy research.

The information leaflets (lifters), prepared within the project are an important tool for a wide range of stakeholders. They are of practical importance for statisticians at regional and national levels, representatives of local authorities, researchers, teachers, students, as well as specialists in the fields of health, education, sociology and corporate governance. Lifters not only popularize the results of the research, but also contribute to the implementation of gender-sensitive statistics in the practical activities of organizations. Thanks to visually appealing design and high-quality infographics, lifters easily demonstrate key results, including the level of the gender gap in 2020 and the level of gender inequality in 2021. Gender profiles of the regions of Ukraine, presented in the form of cartographic visualizations, allow you to easily compare the situation between regions and identify the specifics of each region. This format is particularly effective for dissemination to the public, as well as as an analytical tool for shaping local equality policy.

Accordingly, lifters are not only the result of research, but also an example of a quality communication product that combines scientific accuracy and accessibility for a non-specialized audience.

During offline events, lifters were distributed among participants.

Deliverable 3. WRITING OF SCIENTIFIC ARTICLES BY PROJECT PERFORMERS AND STUDENTS

During the implementation of the project, considerable attention was paid to scientific work - scientific articles were published every year in international and Ukrainian publications, and student scientific activity was systematically supported, resulting in annual publications in the publication  "Scientific Notes of Young Scientists".

The publications (listed below) demonstrate a systematic approach to assessing:

• Gender Inequality Index, Gender Gap Index, and Gender Development Indicators (publications 1, 3, 6, 8);
• Adaptation of complex gender indices to the Ukrainian context and analysis of regional differences in indicators (1, 3, 5, 8);
• Formation of scientometric rankings of pedagogical universities of Ukraine taking into account the gender dimension - in particular, publication 7 presents a methodology for assessing the gender core of the Hirsch Index of higher education institutions;
• Studying gender patterns of life through mathematical modeling of the remaining life span of men and women, which allows for quantitative assessment of socio-demographic characteristics (Article 4);
• Analysis of the impact of gender initiatives and projects on social transformations in Ukraine (articles 2, 3);

Gender aspects of education, including tolerance, the hidden curriculum, and the training of future teachers (9, 10, 11).
