How could we promote gender-sensitive approaches to learning?
Have you wondered, why are men underrepresented in adult learning? Or how to facilitate the participation of full-time mothers and migrant women? These are some of the questions EAEA's new background paper "Gender and Adult Learning" attempts to resolve. The paper raises awareness about the role of gender in adult learning and education and gives examples of how to make adult education more gender sensitive.
