The “Gender & Diversity” partnership presented the project in terms of its objectives, approaches and outcomes. European experts, together with Turkish strategic partners and invited policy makers, discussed the results of country analyses and pilot tests carried out in the project. In several workshops, they exchanged ideas about implementation and exploitation issues, as well as practical approaches in different VET contexts and structures.




Workshops

The conference was finished by a speech given by Mrs Ilknur Karakas representing the Turkish Ministry of National Education. She confirmed her definite intention to further support “Gender & Diversity” in Turkey and take care of the project’s implementation on a national level.
