| A Wiki for Gender Training |
Anonymous writes "The United Nations International Institute for Research and Training
for the Advancement of Women (UN-INSTRAW) has recently developed the
Gender Training Wiki, a tool aimed at communication and knowledge
sharing within the gender community. This is the first wiki devoted to
gender issues and it offers the ability for users to communicate and
share resources on gender training and capacity building. See
http://un-instraw.org/wiki/training/index.php/Main_Page
The wiki contains an interactive map displaying institutions offering
gender trainings and upcoming trainings, an automatically generated
calendar with trainings in the pipeline, gender related training
materials, a section for upcoming and online training courses on
gender, and a directory of institutions offering training courses on
gender.
Please feel free to play around, create an account, add materials or
resources , and of course, provide valuable suggestions either in the
suggestion box or via e-mail. As a wiki is always work in process, and
since we are striving for currency and relevancy, we highly value any
insights or comments you may have."
