This year's Chief of Staff-sponsored Educational Event will welcome two former Gender Advisors and one Gender Focal Point from the operational theatre. Some of the questions that the speakers will seek to answer include: What does it really mean to 'integrate gender perspective' in operations? What benefit does gender perspective bring to an operation? What does a Gender Advisor do in operations? How can ACT support the work of Gender Advisors?

Each sample lesson plan will contain learning outcomes, an outline of content, suggested teaching methods and assessment methods. The lessons will be designed for use with specified audiences (i.e., non-commissioned officers, officers, senior officers) and in specified educational contexts (multinational, national, pre-deployment).
