100 TicketsABOUT THE CONFERENCE
The Conference aims to bring together academics, educators, researchers, and practitioners from different disciplines across the world to discuss, learn and share knowledge about teacher education, gender equality and active citizenship for a sustainable future. The conference is inspired by the fact that the gender equality perspective is a central aspect in ensuring active citizenship, where both men and women participate actively in their social and economic well-being at all levels of society. Gender differences are noticeable among people in different parts of the world in higher education, labour force, access to productive resources, politics, and social status. Teacher education is an important arena to learn and teach issues related to gender equality and equity, thus contributing to the social and economic well-being of any society.
Through teacher education, we ensure that all learners acquire the knowledge and skills needed to promote aspects such as sustainable lifestyles, human rights, gender equality and cultural diversity for a sustainable future. With this conference, we bring together a broad audience, consisting of educators, researchers, practitioners and academics from various disciplines and practice sectors from Tanzania, East Africa and different parts of the world to share knowledge and experiences about how Teacher Education can enhance active citizenship and gender equality for the sustainable future.
