About
RealGeM:
The
Learning Partnership RealGeM compared, integrated and assessed
experiences and methods of different activities and working
fields to implement Gender Mainstreaming, in order to facilitate
a trans-national and trans-sectoral gender learning process.
More detailed, this learning process contains the following
elements:
-
Discussion
of the role of Gender Mainstreaming in the profile of
tasks/in the self-conception of bodies and
institutions for conceptual educational work
-
Identification
of aspects, demands, and themes in connection with Gender
Mainstreaming that are characteristic for the above mentioned
areas, with the focus on educational practice
-
Opening
new areas for Gender Mainstreaming which build a potential
transition between general adult education, the consolidation
of daily life knowledge and professional knowledge, e.g.
tackling consumers policy and participation and future-oriented
governance strategies taking into account the perspective
of gender equality.
Objectives
of Learning Partnership
Our
experiences show the high importance of Gender Mainstreaming
trainings as a basis for the sensitisation of the actors
in terms of their gender perspectives:
-
to
make visible gender-specific structures, hierarchies,
and gender-dualistic ascriptions
-
to
enhance and strengthen the conflict culture within organisations,
as far as gender relations are concerned
-
to
improve the gender-sensitive competencies of the employees,
irrespective of their fields of activity and organisation.
In
this direction the objective of this Learning Partnership
RealGeM is to exchange didactic experiences, practices,
and methods, and to learn of best-practice examples within
the implementation of Gender Mainstreaming in public institutions
focussing on general adult education. Gender Mainstreaming
covers the activities of gender analysis, gender budgeting
as well as sensitisation and counselling of the referring
actors. Recommendations for education, policy advising and
social work will be developed to show how changes towards
more equality of men and women, more quality of life and
individual satisfaction can be fostered. Women and men are
learning persons and agents within structural change. Moreover,
they are multipliers who will spread what they have learned.
RealGeM shall give inputs to all participants and
reach interested persons, responsible bodies in the field
of education, institutions and communities.
Gender Mainstreaming is also a method and competency both
requiring a systematic way of action of all actors tackling
the level of outcomes and the level of decision processes.
"Dismantle inequality and foster equality" - this
objective of Gender Mainstreaming requires a sound analysis
of the initial situation to define the most important developmental
goals. The Learning Partnership for Gender Mainstreaming
can be of immense value, when experiences are exchanged
and new ones are enabled
