GENDER & DIGITAL EMPOWERMENT

DEVELOPMENT OF EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES RELATED TO THE DIGITAL EMPOWERMENT OF SECONDARY SCHOOL TEACHERS AND STUDENTS FROM A GENDER PERSPECTIVE

This project is related to the development of open educational resources linked to digital empowerment from an intersectional gender perspective, both for teachers and high school students. It is driven by EduAlter, a non-profit organization specialized in education for global justice, with a history strongly rooted in the promotion and facilitation of training, reflection and collaboration processes between educational actors in the formal and non-formal spheres. In partnership with Creart and the TIDE-UPF research group, the RETO platform has been created to contribute to promoting digital sovereignty among the learning community made up of teachers and Education for Global Justice institutions involved in critical and transformative education processes. EduAlter promotes the use of a space for sharing open resources to foster their commitment to a transformative education oriented towards a more just world.

The educational resources produced by GenTIC in the context of this project address the following topics:

  • Gender gaps and inequalities in the educational field
  • Digital sovereignty from a gender perspective
  • Digital well-being from a gender perspective
  • Digital empowerment from a gender perspective

Driven by EduAlter with the financial support of the Catalan Agency for Development Cooperation (ACCD), this research project is led by the director of GenTIC, Milagros Sáinz, as principal investigator.
