The subject of the activity is the discussion of stereotype no. 4: There are not enough successful examples of women in STEAM Careers. Examples of stereotypes from the musical artistic field will be presented, such as: “Only men can withstand the harshness of building success”, “women cannot have a career, they have to take care of the family”, “the woman who sings on stage is a courtesan”. By watching the videos, students can familiarize themselves with the lives of musical artists: men and women, before and after the suffragette struggle.

TYPE OF THE ACTIVITY:

video

DURATION:

70 minutes

TEACHING AID:

TEACHING PRACTICE (STEP BY STEP):

Discussions will follow regarding the opinion of the listeners after knowing the materials presented. Counterarguments will be brought to the S4 stereotype:

C1 Mostly men’s achievements are popularized in the media, posters and invitations to school lectures.

C2 There is a need to focus on career awareness and planning to empower girls to pursue a STEAM profession.

After watching the report on the life of soprano Angela Gheorghiu, students will be able to draw conclusions about the proposed topic, such as:

From the perspective of today, women’s struggle for equality in terms of artistic interpretation was important

Although women started building a career in the field much later than men, they still managed to make their mark in the art of interpretation just like men.

This career can also be successfully pursued by girls.
