As part of Project IncludEd, we held a webinar series to explore how gender influences children’s development from the earliest years. In partnership with experts, CSOs, and policymakers, we’re tackling critical questions around creating more inclusive, bias-free spaces for children to thrive.
What We Aim to Achieve:
- Gender Knowledge Product: Share insights on gender inclusion in ECCE.
- Expert Conversations: Discuss embedding gender equity in early education.
- Showcase Pioneering Work: Highlight gender equity initiatives in early education.
Key Themes:
- Gender Inclusion in Early Childhood: Education as a Catalyst for Change
Speakers: Ms Temina Madon, Co-Founder, Member, The Agency Fund; and Ms Sowjanya Kanuri, Director, ACT for Women and ACT for Education
- Anganwadi Centres as Drivers of Gender-Transformative ECCE
Speakers: Dr Rita Patnaik, Joint Director, ECCE & Women Empowerment and Safety, NIPCCD, MWCD; and Mr Arindam Nandi, Health & Education Researcher, The Population Council
FutureFirst is an invitation to rethink ECCE through a gender-inclusive lens, ensuring every child, regardless of gender, is supported to reach their full potential.
