Gender Equality,  Campina 2017

.

This project supported the development of youngsters’ core skills such as citizenship, critical thinking, problem solving, creativity and imagination through the study and investigation of gender equality. The World Health Organization describes gender as referring to “the socially constructed roles, behaviors, activities, and attributes that a given society considers appropriate for men and women.” Citizenship can be seen as being about a feeling (identity), a status (rights) and a practice (taking action). This project will give the opportunity for youngsters to explore how gender roles and expectations influence identity and rights, and aims to inspire youngsters to take action to question norms and dominant masculinities to bring about greater gender equality.
