Description
The aim of the project is to advance the knowledge as well as the need to avoid gender stereotypes in educational literature and materials as well as to raise the theoretical awareness and practical knowledge of gender equality among educational staff, teacher educators, curricula creators, publishers and teachers alike.
An analysis of the current situation will be carried out, where a selection of educational materials (both digital and paper versions) will be studied; discussions and training on gender stereotypes will be organized with the project target group and project partners.
The project also foresees training for experts, who will contribute to the topic even after the end of the project timeframe. The main output of the project is a guide created by ENUT experts on gender stereotypes and their prevention for the authors of educational literature and their everyday users. At the end of the project the guidance material is piloting among different target groups and is presented to a wider audience during the final conference of the project.
The partners of this project are NGOs The Estonian Publishers’ Association, Estonian Education Forum, and Tallinn University who will provide their expertise in analyzing the existing materials and putting together the guidance material for the future.
