GALE The Global Alliance for LGBT education
May 14, 2008 - The German expertise centre KomBi (Communication and Education) offers a training “Strategies and Practical Tools Challenging Homophobia and Gender-based Discrimination in formal and non-formal Education for Teachers and Trainers” in October (19th - 24th, 2008).
The main objective of this course is an increased awareness of perspectives of inclusion in educational settings with the focus on gender stereotypes in a binary gender system, heteronormativity and homophobia.
The course uses a variety of methodologies focusing on interactive and cooperative learning activities. There will be a mix of workshop-based working and lectures or presentations with discussions. Most of the sessions will be workshop-based involving awareness raising activities, individual reflection, pair work, small group activities, peer teaching sessions, simulations, role playing, discussions and practical training practises. Video clips are used to illustrate and deepen aspects of gender competence and diversity competence. During excursions and field work gender stereotypes in the public space are examined.
The training will take place in Berlin (Germany).
Costs for participation can be funded through The Lifelong Learning Programme (LLP). This is a European funding programme which supports education and training across Europe.
