UN Women Training Centre is offering the ECARO Gender Mainstreaming training package as part of the ECALearn Initiative. All training will be delivered online, incorporating good practices and grounded in feminist pedagogical principles. The course will be delivered over three half-days (3 contact hours per day, with a 30-minute break in between). Participants are expected to engage actively in all sessions of the training – with cameras on – except where this is not feasible for logistical or other reasons. There will also be a virtual 90-minute follow-up session for each course in the week of 2 February. Places are limited and will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Full participation and completion of Course 1 is mandatory in order to register for Course 2 or 3.
