GTCoP - Community of Practice Training for Gender Equality

How can training for gender equality contribute to climate action? Join us live at the UN Women Training Centre's next Virtual Dialogue Webinar to find out (13 December 2021, 10:00 NY time): https://unwomen.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_MianKkXDTImUopkm83AeGw 

Our expert panellists will discuss why training for gender equality is a relevant strategy for advancing climate action, what practical examples exist of using training for gender equality to support climate action, and how we can leverage training's transformative potential to address the climate crisis.

Thank you to everyone who tuned in to the first interview in our CoP Interview series with Dr Lucy Ferguson on feminist pedagogies in training for gender equality. 

Here is an audio recording of our interview: 

You can access the paper on Feminist Peagogies prepared by Dr Ferguson for the UN Women Training Centre here: https://trainingcentre.unwomen.org/mod/data/index.php?d=1&rid=5369

As she stressed during the interview, this is a Working Paper so we invite your comments and hope to generate debate about feminist pedagogical principles in training for gender equality, and how we can apply these in practice. What are your thoughts on this? 

Join us on Thursday, 7 October 2021 for an exciting live webinar on the Professional Development Programme for Gender Trainers (8:00 New York/14:00 Central European time).

Welcome to the newly re-opened CoP forum! 

My name is Ruya and I will be moderating the discussion forum on behalf of the UN Women Training Centre throughout 2017.

To get us started, I'm very pleased to note that we have received a number of responses to our recent CoP Members survey, which the Training Centre circulated this month to learn more about the needs and interests of our CoP members.

La equidad de género es la capacidad de una sociedad de ser equitativa y justa en el trato de hombres y mujeres en los ámbitos social, cultural y político. La equidad de género es responsabilidad del Estado, de las instituciones y de la sociedad en su conjunto. Nuestro país está comprometido con avanzar en la igualdad de género. Para ello, identifica y visibiliza las barreras, brechas e inequidades que se presentan entre hombres y mujeres, generando propuestas de acción para eliminarlas. Odepa entrega información, noticias y datos útiles de interés para promover la equidad de género.
