Resumen
The KINDER project aims to develop and implement a transformative approach to gender norms and training programmes for professionals working with children in pre-school (3- 6 years old) and from the first cycles of compulsory primary education (7-12 years old).
Based on the team's extensive experience in this area, KINDER has been co-constructing over one school year a methodology for teachers and other educational agents that is gender sensitive and transformative of behaviours and attitudes, enabling them to respond to the specific needs of children in teaching and learning processes from a gender equality perspective. In this communication we report on the preliminary results of the first year of the project from the implementation of the pilot project. We reflect on the need to invest in changing attitudes towards gender stereotypes from the earliest age inside and outside schools through the lens of caring, equitable and non-violent masculinities; we highlight the importance of initial and continuous training as a strategy to equip teachers with knowledge, skills and attitudes for inclusive pedagogy and the essential character of building and developing these approaches in a co-constructed and participatory way, with those who will be in the field, through tools that can be used by schools.
