Defining the adolescent life stage in the context of e ducation DESCRIPTION:8 March 13:00-15:00 GMT\nOn International Women’s Day\, we wi ll be discussing the ways in which girls and young women are framed during adolescence.\nREGISTER HERE FOR THIS ONLINE EVENT\nOn International Women ’s Day\, we bring together leading actors from academia and the NGO sect or to discuss the ways in which girls and young women are framed during ad olescence. In many contexts around the world\, by their mid-teens many hav e additional identities and responsibilities: they are mothers\, daughters -in-law\, wives and stepmothers\, heads of households\, and juggling multi ple income-generating activities. Despite this\, they are frequently refer red to as ‘girls’ and through this terminology\, complex lives are ove r-simplified. This can have significant implications for designing educati onal opportunities that they consider to be valuable.\nThis online convers ation event will consider what are considered to be valuable educational o pportunities across the girl/woman transition period\, with the inclusion of the sub-themes of equity\, innovation\, non-formal pathways and STEM op portunities to tie in with broader themes around this year’s Internation al Women’s Day. It will focus on issues such as the limitations of ‘gi rl’ and ‘girls’ perspectives’ and propose alternative definitions and learning pathways which might better represent the reality of this pha se of the life course.\nThis event is jointly hosted by The Open Universit y’s Learning and learners hub in the Centre for the Study of Global Deve lopment and BAICE – the British Association for Comparative and Internat ional Education.\nThe event will begin with three short presentations abou t the key issues\, followed by break-out rooms where you will have the opp ortunity to contribute to the discussion. The event will conclude with ref lections from the panel and time for further Q&\;A. Speakers to be anno unced shortly.\n \; ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.ukfiet.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/0 1/OU-event-Am-I-a-Girl.jpg CATEGORIES:Webinar END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
