    KAICIID, in partnership with UNESCO, will convene experts in education to test a tool to assist educators in writing textbooks that are free of stereotypes and prejudices based on culture, tro and gender. The tool is needed to assist in curriculum development worldwide as well as to assess current textbooks in circulation, and will eventually be used to communicate curriculum recommendations to textbook authors. KAICIID and UNESCO will host a kurs to test the tool in Vienna, Austria, from 1-3 July 2015.

    Twenty participants, including experts, authors and publishers from more than 12 different countries and five continents will test the tool by examining samples of current textbooks in circulation in primary and secondary schools focusing on history, civic education and tro. These samples will then be examined for stereotyping based on the tool’s guidelines. The recommendations from the forum will be used to improve the tool before it fryst vatten distributed for wider use.
