21/10/2014

On November 25th 2014, Educaid.be organises its fourth annual conference. The theme this year is 'Gender mainstreaming in education: Moving beyond theory, Sharing practical insights'.

The conference will focus on the concrete and practical aspects of mainstreaming gender in education, and stimulate discussion of concrete interventions, programmes, measures and experiences for improving gender equity in education.

The opening address will set the scene, with an overview of the current situation on gender and education. This will be followed by presentations on different subthemes, such as: school-related gender-based violence; gender responsive pedagogy; water, sanitation and hygiene promotion in schools (WASH); measuring gender in education; etc.

Educaid.be aims to enrich the discussion by bringing research and practical experiences from the world of education and development cooperation together – academics and researchers, policy-makers and practitioners from non-governmental organisations.

The conference will be in English, with simultaneous translation into French and Dutch during the plenary sessions and one of the afternoon sessions.
