Diversity in didactics and education

Children, youth and science in Denmark

In Children, youth and science, we support projects that focus on developing methods and approaches for a more inclusive and gender-sensitive didactics. The aim is to ensure that all students, regardless of gender and background, experience science and technology as relevant in their everyday lives and as a potential future.

The programme explores whether and how a more gender-conscious didactics can enhance student motivation for science and technology, as well as unconventional educational choices. The goal is for example to encourage more girls to choose science and a technical education and more ethnic minority youth to choose vocational training.

If you have an idea for a project within the grant area’s focus on diversity in didactics and education, feel free to send us a brief description (max one A4 page). Include a working title, timeline, target audience, project idea, specific activities and an estimate of the budget and amount applied for.

Send the description to head of programme Ole Laursen. We will get back to you quickly with an initial assessment and advice.
