CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
This part presents the conceptual framework, with key theoretical contributions in support of efficient professional interventions and it was developed by NAIA experts, representing this project's lead organization. It compiles information on a number of essential topics: among them gender equality; gender stereotypes; gender-based violence and discrimination; and human rights. In addition, it provides an outline of the important stages in early childhood development regarding children's understanding of gender roles' implications for both family and social life. Further, this part throws light on the influence of classic fairy tales on shaping children's values and attitudes. Special attention is paid to the supportive environment for children - parents, relatives, teachers, other adults important to them and their crucial role in encouraging children's critical thinking towards gender stereotypes in society.
