Women’s Legacy is introduced as a leading project at the 1st COEDUCA National Conference

“A unique opportunity to boost the exchange of experiences and methodologies related with a cross-sectional element like coeducation proving that the Valencian educational system is pioneering in the different strategies to make this possible”. These words by the Valencian Minister for Education, Culture and Sports, Vicent Marzà, opened the 1st COEDUCA National Conference, which took place in Valencia on Friday 29th and Saturday 30th October.

The Minister’s opening speech included a special mention to Women’s Legacy, which was highlighted as a regional, national and international model project for coeducation. In fact, this was confirmed on the second day of the conference, when the researcher Ana López-Navajas presented this initiative in the talk “a project for cultural change in the classrooms”.

In particular, Ana López-Navajas explained the objectives, the methodology and the resources that will soon be available for free among the educational community, public administrations and cultural entities, to be used as teaching intervention tools in order to change the androcentric vision that has traditionally been transmitted at school and recover the heritage that women have generated through history in all academic fields. Likewise, the researcher, who is the project’s manager, used this speech as an opportunity to emphasize that the aim is to establish Women’s Legacy as a European educational model.

The 1st COEDUCA National Conference, which gathered more than 500 people at the Palau de les Arts in Valencia, and was followed online by more than 2000, was created by the Valencian Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports, which has included coeducation as another element in teacher training, with the aim of expanding the resources they have at their disposal in order to boost coeducational practices.
