Welcome
The need for introducing gender equality and key elements of managing diversity
into educational practice
|
... has been recognised on a European-wide scale and explicitly confirmed by statements of various educational organisations and labour market administrations. Whereas gender and equality issues are being officially acknowledged in all EU member states, their realisation in every day's practice lags behind. This is especially true for the target countries of this project, Romania, Slovenia and, particularly, for Turkey. "Gender & Diversity in Vocational Education and Training (VET)"... addresses an urgent need that has been expressed in these countries. It will contribute an attractive alternative to combat this situation, especially because the project will not only deliver "materials", "contents" and "methodologies", but will also - and foremost - prepare the grounds at the political level, by including key organisations and stakeholders into the Strategic Advisory Committee and Strategic Advisory Group. |

The overall objectives of the project are
... to transfer innovative practice for personal development of female and male learners by introducing gender equality into the vocational education, training and counselling service in Romania, Slovenia and in Turkey
- to sensitise VET teachers, trainers and counsellors, their organisations and key actors of VET funding policy in Romania, Slovenia and Turkey about the importance of gender sensitive approach in daily VET practice
- to provide relevant didactic concepts and innovative practical materials in order to respectively improve the quality of VET systems and practices for continuous training in European countries
- to spread the project contents and results through a variety of dissemination activities, including third parties such as, e.g., labour market policy organisations and social partners.
