Teachers, educators, school leaders, and counselors can use these toolkits to organise discussions and activities. These toolkits provide an opportunity for children to explore unknown or unconventional career options, and thus to challenge gender stereotypes inside and outside the classroom. An educational environment that is free of gender stereotypes provides a firm foundation for children to grow freely and develop their unique interests and talents.
The toolkits employ active learning methodologies that place learners at the center of their learning. The activities provide a context that stimulates reflection and dialogue, in which learners have the opportunity to question and confront their stereotypical thinking and biases, both as a group and as individuals.
These toolkits and the resources within them can be easily applied across the curriculum and offer multiple opportunities for interdisciplinarity.
