The Greek GEAR against IPV Package was originally developed in 2010 and in 2015 it was revised and updated.
Booklet I. The GEAR against IPV Project: Gender Equality Awareness Raising against Intimate Partner Violence
Provides information about the project, its material and activities and describes its dissemination actions carried out by the European Anti-Violence Network (EAVN), namely the responsible organization for the intervention’s implementation in Greece, as well as possible ways of lobbying towards the incorporation of the GEAR against IPV Workshop in secondary schools’ curriculum.
Booklet II. Guidelines for Conducting a GEAR against IPV Teachers’ Seminar
Provides, in three separate sections, all of the necessary step-by-step instructions for the organization, implementation and evaluation of Seminars; its aim is to achieve an, as much as possible, uniform and effective training of teachers who intend to implement the GEAR against IPV Workshops with secondary school students in Greece.
Separate parts of the seminar focus on teachers’ sensitization and training on: a) gender equality issues and gender stereotypical attitudes, as well as how these are related to Intimate Partner Violence (IPV), b) how to handle cases of abuse (IPV or child abuse and neglect) and c) the methodology of organizing, conducting, monitoring and evaluating the GEAR against IPV Workshops in their classrooms.
Section Β includes tables that were specifically created with the aim to link each part of the Seminar with the respective supportive material of Booklets ΙΙΙ (Teacher’s Manual) and IV (Students’ Activities Book). Lastly, Booklet ΙΙ concludes with Annexes providing useful tools for the organization and evaluation of the Seminar.

Provides all of the information and material teachers are needed for the organization, step-by-step implementation, documentation and evaluation of the workshops in the classroom. The largest part of the Manual consists of a series of 45 experiential activities that are structured in three modules:
- Gender Stereotypes and Gender Equality
- Healthy and Unhealthy Relationships
- Intimate Partner Violence (IPV)
In order to facilitate the teacher, the activities are presented with the same structure: short introduction, learning objectives, duration, material and preparation, suggested step-by-step process, expected outcome and teacher’s tips. The “Material and Preparation” section refers to the material included in Booklet IV that is necessary for each activity’s implementation.
In Annexes, the workshops’ evaluation tools are included, as well as useful theoretical and practical information concerning the specific issues addressed in each module of the Manual, in order for the teacher –before proceeding with the implementation- to have the opportunity to be properly informed on issues that probably s/he is not sufficiently aware of [e.g. Gender (In)Equality in Greece, What is Intimate Partner Violence, How to React in Suspected/Disclosed Child Abuse and Neglect & IPV].

Some of the comments provided by teachers who have evaluated the Greek “GEAR against IPV” Package are quoted below:
"...this material is something that was missing and needed. I’m sure that both, students and their parents will welcome a project with this subject."
“I like the way the material is structured because it is very analytic/detailed, it has worksheets and it is very well structured. What usually happens is that the available material is very abstract and due to this fact we have to search for hours by ourselves to find more information and/or material in order to implement a programme."
"What I like most is the methodology used, namely that in many cases the activities ask children to put themselves in the position of the other person and I think that it is easier for children to understand how the other feels when they play his/her role."
“It’s very helpful for us; we just have to print the material for an activity we want to implement in the classroom."
"Its the first time during the last 3 years I’ve been working on similar issues that we’ll have specific material. Worksheets are very well structured and correspond exactly to the manual for the teacher… It looks like a book that we used in the first class of primary school!"
