Kick-off symposium
The kick-off symposium programme took place on May 10 and included contributions from key researchers as well as inputs from teacher educators, policymakers and senior leaders with responsibility for gender equalities in teacher education. This event brought key stakeholders into dialogue to identify key issues and concerns and agenda for change.
The symposium established community led success criteria against which the project outcomes can be evaluated and help to frame production of the literature review.
The kick-off symposium launched the MGEMS Community of Practice Network that will bring together role models, peer mentors and critical friends across Vietnam and the UK to support ongoing capacity and capability building.
