A two-day conference about Law and Gender – LAWGEM
About the project: The overall objective of the project New Quality in Education for Gender Equality – Strategic Partnership for the Development of a Master’s Study Program LAW AND GENDER is to contribute to socially inclusive higher education and to improve the quality of legal education across Europe and elsewhere. The necessity of a gender-sensitive approach in legal education emerges from the highest value and normative standards of modern international and national law.
Objectives of the project are, firstly, to build a fully innovative systemic curriculum of master legal studies, which will encompass all relevant fields of legal education and legal practice, as well as non-legal relevant fields such as the economic analysis of law, criminology, and social-psychological fields of research and knowledge. Secondly, to create a textbook and learning materials relevant for the Law and Gender master programme; thirdly, to create a legal clinic; and fourthly, to create an online platform for life-long learning (on-line platform for LLL) on gender issues, which would contribute to raising awareness on gender equality and enhancing the knowledge and practice necessary to combat all forms of gender-based discrimination, violence, and sexual harassment.
The LAWGEM project is a collaboration between Belgrade University, University of LUMSA, University of Saarland, Cadiz University, and Örebro University and co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union.
