This course, named Substantive Gender Equality at the University, is intended for teachers, students, administrative staff of universities and other higher education institutions. This course is prepared under the international Erasmus+ project "Higher Education Learning Community for Inclusion (HELCI)", which is implemented by Mykolas Romeris University (Lithuania) together with the University of Vienna (Austria) and the University of Salamanca (Spain), and several Spanish non-governmental organisations working in the field of human rights.
The aim of the project is to implement the principles of non-discrimination on the basis of gender, sexual orientation, racial and ethnic identity and common European values in higher education, to strengthen links between universities in different countries and to create engaging and innovative study content that fights against hate speech and other forms of intolerance that Europe faces today.
The course „Substantive Gender Equality at the University“ consists of an Introduction and four modules:
The first module: Gender equality in universities: what is it?
The second module: Gender discrimination at the university: what is it?
The third module: Students create a university
The fourth module: The University as an agent of change in the field of gender equality
Each module has from 4 to 10 video clips, which make up the content of each module. Each video has defined learning outcomes, i.e. knowledge, abilities, attitudes, values, which are expected to be demonstrated by individuals after taking this course and completing self-assessment and / or self-reflection tasks that are available to each participant of the course in the Moodle environment of this course.
At the end of each module, there is also a list of recommended open sources (readings, videos, audio resources) for further independent learning and / or delving into the issues of gender equality or inequality in educational systems.
