“PCP Gender Equality Award” (to be launched in September 2021) will reward best practices of 15 teachers each year who have succcessfully completed our trainings and who are engaged in feminist pedagogies and creative practices both within and outside the classroom. PCP’s education sessions are based on critical pedagogies so all participants can actively participate and create new teaching materials. By integrating research modules on gender studies into the program, all participants can find out about cutting-edge projects related to gender and women’s studies and can research ways of carrying such presentations into their teaching experience. Through our “Purple Seed Award,” teachers with innovative ideas on gender inclusive pedagogies for implementation will be rewarded in an award ceremony. Each year, PCP teachers will present their ideas at the “Purple Seed Panel,” which we hope will be inspirational to a multitude of educators and trainers within and beyond the PCP network.
Starting from September 2021, The Gender Equality Award that will be given to 15 teachers on a yearly basis will enable teachers to build/expand on their personal libraries at home (the award will comprise a donation of e-books to the award recipients) in the lack of school libraries that they would have accessed prior to the pandemic. Further, the Award will enable the recipients to watch digital feminist theater based on gender justice, even though physical theater buildings remain closed.
