Dalibor Svoboda Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 (edited) I choose to write about four Czech women with different backgrounds and different professions. I plan to be ready with their biographies for Toulouse meeting. I hope that we can not later than at Toulouse meeting decide how our different products will be coordinated together into one single E-HELP teaching material. Or is it of no importance? I guess that every one in our group would like to use his own pedagogical approach and also his own production technology. At the same time there was talk of using Content Manager System. For the start I am thinking to put the biographies at my school homepage (or my own homepage) with presentation of the project. I was thinking to constantly enlarge the presentation of women from Eastern Europe during the whole project time. After my first four Czech profiles I would like to write for example about two quite different women from Soviet time. (But not about any bomber women. I heard nasty things about them when I visited Estonia few years ago.) Edited March 16, 2005 by Dalibor Svoboda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nico Zijlstra Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 (edited) Researching the Dutch branch of the Women Peace Party I followed Dr. Aletta Jacobs. In Spartacus the link to Dr. Aletta Jacobs (John could you look into the spelling on your website?) was dead. Aletta Jacobs Could you please look into it John?

John Simkin Posted March 22, 2005 Author Share Posted March 22, 2005 Researching the Dutch branch of the Women Peace Party I followedDr. Aletta Jacobs. In Spartacus the link to Dr. Aletta Jacobs (John could you look into the spelling on your website?) was dead. Aletta Jacobs Could you please look into it John? You will find the link now works. She has strong links with the work done by the suffrage movement. This includes the activities in the 19th century. I think it is important that we start this in this period. I know that it is impossible to understand the subject of women's suffrage in the UK without looking at the campaigns for birth-control, etc. in the 19th century. Aletta Jacobs' career illustrates this very clearly. http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/USAWjacobsA.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anders MacGregor-Thunell Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 Today a new party - the "Feministic Initiative" will be formed in Sweden. According to the news the party will participate in the next election (Fall 2006). The discussion about a feministic party in Sweden started after the former partyleader of the Left Party (the former Left Communist Party) was forced to resign in January 2003. She (Gudrun Schyman) had initiated a stronger feministic approach from the Left Party and she now expressed an idea of forming a feministic party. This idea has often been discussed since then and today (Monday the 4th of April) it's obviously going to happen. It will be very interesting to see the reactions on this new party as well as the party's program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nico Zijlstra Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 (edited) I came across the following exhibition in 1898: De nationale tentoonstelling van Vrouwenarbeid in The Hague The organising committee was impressed by the success of the Danish exhibition in 1895. Perhaps an idea to investigate this Danish exhibition from the Danish/Swedish side. 22nd June-15th September Kvindernes Udstilling http://www.kvinfo.dk/side/454/ Edited April 18, 2005 by Nico Zijlstra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anders MacGregor-Thunell Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 It was a great way to show the progress of women in Denmark. I don't know if it had any real impact in Sweden but I will sure look into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alf wilkinson Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Hi - I've been pondering the best way forward on the 'women's history' topic, and especially the oral/social history, rather than the political history. Perhaps if we can agree a kind of template for interviewing women about their experiences, that we could all use, so we are working in a similar way. This might make it easier to pick out similarities and differences across Europe. I wonder if Dan's better half has anything we might adapt? I'm not suggesting we should all stick rigidly to it, it just might make the whole project more coherent. I have in mind a three [four?] generational interview with family members, asking similar questions and ...well, we'd have to see what comes out of it. It might be something to spend a little time on in Toulouse - although as I won't be there I am reticent to make suggestions about the agenda.

Hi Alf - why don't you work on a template and post it up here? Those attending in Toulouse can then discuss it and ammend it as they see fit. It sounds like an excellent idea to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Jones-Nerzic Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Hi - I've been pondering the best way forward on the 'women's history' topic, and especially the oral/social history, rather than the political history. Perhaps if we can agree a kind of template for interviewing women about their experiences, that we could all use, so we are working in a similar way. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> This is a very interesting possibility and have been thinking along similar lines. A student of mine recently returned to Russia to interview a number of people about their experiences of childhood in Stalin's Russia. One of the people she interviewed was an elderly lady in her 80s. I was able to give my student one of the E-HELP video cameras and she recorded four hours on tape. I think we might be able to do something similar. If we could agree on a template, we could use our cameras (already purchased) to record the interviews. This has at least two interesting E-HELP possibilities: 1) We will generate useful multimedia resources which we can use (in an edited form) on our website for which we will own the copyright. These will be multinational and multilingual but importantly will have a common focus. 2) We will have produced a model of good practice in the application of ICT in history teaching (digital video, oral history and the internet) which could form the basis of one of the modules in the course. Teaching people how to use DV has always to have a 'why they should' dimension. This seems to be an excellent example to me. We should continue to research and prepare the curriculum content (20th century Women) for the Toulouse meeting but it will be interesting to see how this material fits into Alf's proposed template. If we can agree on this for Toulouse, I'd like to think that people will be taking cameras away with them to do the interviews. We could use part of the Gothenburg to train up on using the software for editing the material that members shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Simkin Posted May 17, 2005 Author Share Posted May 17, 2005 The World Economic Forum has just compiled a league table of countries measured according to the gender gap between women and men. It included assessing patterns of inequality in areas including economic status, political empowerment, health and education. Thought it would be of use for our project. The list in rank order is: 1. Sweden 2. Norway 3. Iceland 4. Denmark 5. Finland 6. New Zealand 7. Canada 8. UK 9. Germany 10. Australia 11. Latvia 12. Lithuania 13. France 14. Netherlands 15. Estonia 16. Ireland 17. United States 18. Costa Rica 19. Poland 20. Belgium 21. Slovak Republic 22. Slovenia 23. Portugal 24. Hungary 25. Czech Republic 26. Luxembourg 27. Spain 28. Austria 29. Bulgaria 30. Columbia 31.

D Letouzey Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 We didn’t specified at all content of our subject: “Europe’s other half: women in 20th century” In French, I have tried to gather many resources on Women and Gender History : http://hgtice.free.fr/butine/genre.htm It was the subject of the 2004 History Festival in Blois.
