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.
