JENTERS UTDANNING I DISTRIKTENE I NEPAL
Norge-Nepalforeningen arrangerer stadig temakvelder om Nepal. Denne gangen får vi en en presentasjon av et UNESCO/Norad-prosjekt. Nagina Malla, Trine Helle og Gunnar Dale vil presentere prosjektet hvor målet var å styrke jenters tilgang til utdanning i distriktene.
Prosjektet var et omfattende, multibilateralt initiativ finansiert av Norad og implementert av UNESCO i tett samarbeid med nepalske myndigheter. I perioden 1984–1987 bestod prosjektet av rundt 20 internater knyttet til ungdomsskoler og ytterligere 4 ved lærerskoler. Resultatene var betydelige: om lag 800 jenter fullførte lærerutdanningen, og de fleste gikk videre til arbeid som lærere i barneskolen – en viktig milepæl for både likestilling og lokal utvikling.
Prosjektet kan fungere som inspirasjon for organisasjoner som ønsker å bidra i Nepal. Den gir innsikt i nytteverdien av langsiktige tiltak, viser hvilke utfordringer som oppstår i feltet, og illustrerer hvordan samarbeid mellom lokale myndigheter, internasjonale aktører og lokalsamfunn kan skape varige endringer.
Det blir spennende å høre fra de tre som var involvert i dette prosjektet!
Arrangementet finner sted i lokalet «Trinserud» på Sagene Samfunnshus i Oslo.
Det er gratis og åpent for alle!
