November 2021:
After a long hiatus on international travel, the project group was finally able to meet up in Tallinn in Estonia November 16th-19th. We finalised Intellectual Output 1 (IO1) on gender-sensitive education in kindergartens, which is the Norwegian main product of the project, and made great progress on the Estonian IO2 on schools. We also made plans for the Czech IO3 which will be in webinar form and cover topics of interest for teachers working in high school.
May 2020: Covid-19 and changes to the project progress plan
Due to the Covic-19 closedown in Europe starting mid-March, the planned joint staff training event, to take place in Steinkjer March 16th to 20th, was cancelled on very short notice. We have tentatively re-scheduled the event for March 2021.
The project group meeting in Tallinn planned for late June has similarly been cancelled and tentatively re-scheduled for October 2020. Work on the Intellectual Outputs will proceed as planned, with consultations on digital platforms.
Project kick-off meeting in Brno, October 2019
In October 2019, the 6 core members of the project team met up in Brno in the Czech Republic. The purpose of the kick-off meeting was to get to know each other's work better, to confirm the project timeline, to plan the joint staff training event in Norway in March 2020 and discuss how to approach the very different systems in our respective countries.
The project meeting was also the starting point of intellectual output 1 (IO1), with Norway as lead author. This is a 2-day, 16-module course for kindergarten staff on gender-sensitive education. It includes both gender and diversity theory and practical modules focusing on filming kindergarten practice and interaction with a view to gender equality and allowing children to express their true selves.
