“Crossroads: best practices to empower youngers to continue their post compulsory education from an intersectional perspective” is an European project based on the exchange of best practices to empower youngsters to continue their post compulsory education from an intersectional perspective. Specifically, the general aim is to develop innovative tools and methodologies for the faculty to reduce early school leaving caused by the impact of the intersection of different axes of inequality in period between Compulsory and Post-Compulsory Secondary Education.

The project, coordinated by the Centre for Interdisciplinary Gender Studies (CEIG) of the UVic-UCC and financed by the convocation of Erasmus +, was developed in October 2019 and it will last two years. This is the project that continues with the mentoring ‘Camins’ project trajectory, born with the wish to make public the findings and also to nourish other people with similar experiences in other European countries.
