This project was about inclusive, equitable, quality education (SDG 4, mainly target 4.7) and nurturing an environment of gender justice (SDG 5, primarily target 5.1). The project wanted to remove barriers to education and boost progress towards promoting gender equality in education. To unlock this potential, we needed ‘gender-responsive’ education systems and ‘gender-sensitive educators’ for adult education, higher education, and secondary school education.
TSA Bildung & Ausbildungszentrum GmbH built a European community to pay attention to gender-related issues and how to integrate a gender-responsive learning environment into concrete actions by the standardization process. With this European community, Checklists for Gender- Responsive Learning Environments were created and implemented in each partner institution to establish standardizations of gender equality in the education system. We made a digital and innovative teacher training course, Gender-Sensitive Educators MOOC (a massive open online course), to teach teachers about gender-sensitive teaching methodologies and pedagogy. With all this information and selected priorities, this project also presented a ‘window of opportunity for strengthening gender equality within educational policy by benefiting from the critical competencies of the European Education Area.
