Abstract

As a privileged means of socialization, the school's mission is to promote equal opportunities and educate for the values of pluralism and gender equality. The introduction of a gender perspective in educational policies is a fundamental tool to fight gender inequalities. This chapter aims to present a theoretical-methodological proposal for the development of a massive open online course (MOOC) addressed to those interested in learning and studying about gender inequalities and women's empowerment. The MOOC will introduce inspiring examples of feminine resistance and resilience from Portugal and Brazil, showing women who have fought for the rights and policies for gender equality, against gender biases, and building women's citizenship in and through education. The integration of MOOCs as an educational tool raises questions and challenges both in the didactic-pedagogical forum and about institutional policies.
