EDucation and GEnder Project
Studies on gender equality identify the gender-specific differences in education and upbringing. National and international organisations are looking for ways to further enhance gender-specific education. EDGE: Education & Gender focuses on the realisation of this goal!
The curriculum, developed during the EDGE project, will be offered in several modules that can be used to realise social science curricula and other educational programmes : vacances scolaires. This website provides you with theoretical and relevant practical material.
The 13 project partners from 12 European countries hope to increase your understanding of gender based issues and inspire you to engage actively with your students. Good luck and have fun!
