Non-academic educational activities

Gender and ICT has developed non-academic educational activities with secondary students, teachers and families aimed at addressing the challenges associated with the influence of gender stereotypes on students’ educational aspirations. The objective of those initiatives was to raise awareness to avoid academic sexism and reduce tolerance for gender-based inequalities in the educational environment.

Through a combination of individual and group dynamics, adolescents enrolled in second and third years of compulsory secondary education reflected on the influence of gender stereotypes on how boys and girls assess their own abilities in math and language, as well as considering the existing stereotypes about STEM and non-STEM subjects and occupations. During the workshops, school materials were distributed with slogans on them promoting equal opportunities and gender equity in the scientific and technological fields.
