The team of the Ombudsman of the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen invites teaching staff, academics, and researchers to a series of two practical workshops. Their goal is to demonstrate how to foster a gender-sensitive educational environment, recognize stereotypes, and meaningfully integrate the gender dimension into teaching and courses across various disciplines.

The first workshop, titled Gender Dimension in Educational Content, will take place online on Tuesday, November 10, from 1:30 PM to 3:30 PM. It emphasizes that the gender dimension in education is not merely about the ratio of women to men in the classroom. It influences the examples we choose, our perception of a "typical" student, and our assumptions about learning needs. This online session will provide concrete examples from diverse scientific fields and demonstrate how to work with this concept across all stages of teaching. Gabriela Langhammerová and Dagmar Krišová will lead the session from NKC – Gender and Science. Those interested in attending must register in advance using this form, which also includes the Zoom link and further details.

The second workshop will be held in person on Thursday, November 26, from 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM at the UWB Rectorate building (Room UR007) on the topic Gender Dimension in the Curriculum: From Principles to Practice. This workshop offers an in-depth look at working with educational materials and course design. Participants will learn to reflect on gender stereotypes critically and explore the practical applications of inclusive language. The program includes the analysis of case studies from the academic environment and hands-on exercises designed to help participants integrate a gender perspective into their own courses. Markéta Štěpánová and Anna Donovalová will guide the session from the non-governmental organization Gender Studies, o.p.s. Registration is available via this form.
