The CLAVICO association organizes the International Conference on Coeducation annually. Its fourth edition took place the weekend of the 16th and 17th October in Madrid, where Ana López-Navajas, the researcher and project manager of Women’s Legacy, had the opportunity to present this initiative, led by the Valencian Government’s Ministry of Education. Specifically, she gave a talk entitled “A project for a cultural change in the classrooms: never again a culture without women”.
The intervention of Ana López-Navajas caught the attention of educational entities, teachers and authorities from other Spanish autonomous communities, where the Women’s Legacy project expects to implement the bank of resources and catalogues for different subjects (musical works, literary works and artistic works) that the team has been developing for months. “It’s important to note that the people participating in this project are not only creating resources, they are also being trained at the same time”, stated the researcher.
In fact, Ana López-Navajas took the opportunity at the Fourth International Conference on Coeducation to highlight that Women’s Legacy is still open to the incorporation of professionals who would like to collaborate in the study and elaboration of products and materials for coeducation, as well as to the collaboration of public and private organizations in its subsequent dissemination. “We are currently working in network with Spanish teachers and entities, but also some from Italy, Lithuania and the United Kingdom”, explained the project manager.
Moreover, Ana López-Navajas advertised her most recent book “Learning with feminine referents: a cultural legacy for equity”. Created as a reference work and a practical tool for teaching, this publication goes across all areas found in obligatory education and gathers the methodology used by Women’s Legacy for teachers to have access to some first tools with which they can foster, from the classrooms, a change towards real equity.
