G-EPIC Fourth Policy Brief
"Presentation of the cross-walk tool on gender empowerment and curriculum alignment of the G-EPIC intervention."
This policy brief introduces the G-EPIC cross-walk tool to different stakeholders, which is a crucial step in ensuring the long-term sustainability of the project’s gender equality results. After explaining the content of the cross-walk tool, the policy brief focuses on a comparative overview of how the G-EPIC didactic intervention on gender empowerment aligns with the educational curricula in Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, and the United Kingdom. The analysis is based on a detailed comparison between the national or regional curricula and the country-specific versions of the G-EPIC five-lesson package, which is designed to empower girls from disadvantaged backgrounds to engage in political life.
The curriculum alignment exercise was conducted through the G-EPIC cross-walk tool—an online data base that enables users to visualise the degree of coherence between the intervention for girls empowerment and existing educational frameworks.
By documenting this alignment, this brief highlights the adaptability and curricular relevance of the G-EPIC intervention in 6 different educational contexts. The cross walk tool is freely available and a key resource for educational stakeholders aiming to integrate or scale up the G-EPIC approach to empower girls of disadvantaged backgrounds, ensuring it complements national learning goals and supports long-term implementation.
Further details and country-specific alignment tables can be accessed on the G-EPIC website.
