Abstract
This chapter discusses the selection of school staff involved in the development of the GECM in England, Hungary and Italy, and the process of GECM development and piloting in collaboration with experts across the three countries. NGOs in the three countries reached a high number of teachers and schools through their emailing lists and national and regional groups. However, recruitment in Hungary and Italy was more difficult due to the hostile context to gender equality research and gender studies in general in these countries. This chapter discusses the process and challenges NGOs faced in school recruitment, teacher training, and working with experts and schools in the three countries to translate the GECM and adapt it into their socio-cultural and educational contexts.
