Scuola Secondaria di Primo Grado "Battisti-Ferraris" - Bisceglie - Italy
On the 23rd of May a group of students from class 3F (Giacomo P., Giacomo M, Mauro C. Irene DO, Pierluigi P, Serena D.T.,Teresa DA, Pietro V) campaigned for gender equality in a 7th grade class. At first they introduced some women who had supported gender equality, after they explained what gender equality is and gave some news about the situation in Italy. Besides the student presented some solutions and suggested what we can do every day to overcome gender inequality. Soon after, the T.A.S.K. group of students gave the girls some leaflets containing motivational sentences to improve their self- confidence and self-awareness. At the end of the session, the 7th graders played a kahoot to check what they had just learned about gender equality. The T.A.S.K group also put up a poster for students to read every day the 5 simple actions all of us can do to overcome gender stereotypes.
