In the last three articles we talked in depth about the Toolkits created for the European Commission to challenge learners in primary and secondary schools to identify and question gender stereotypes and discover career opportunities in the transport sector.
This created the opportunity to carry out an interview with two of the authors of the Toolkits: Maria Luísa de Bivar Black – historian, teacher, educator and consultant with experience in education for human rights and democracy – and María Pilar Santos Tambo – language teacher in secondary school and university and also manager of a teacher professional development program in Spain.
The interview was hosted by Pascale Mompoint-Gaillard: education consultant, trainer and co-founder of Learn to Change.
In today’s article we talk about how Toolkits work and how they can help teachers talk about gender stereotypes in the classroom.
An interesting overview of the structure of the Toolkits is given by the authors themselves in the interview:
The Toolkits are available in two different versions (the first for primary school pupils and teachers; the second for secondary school pupils and teachers) but they share the same structure.
This is an excerpt from the toolkits where the structure of the work is represented:
One of the authors, Luisa de Bivar, delves into the question according to which in Toolkits there is a focus on the issue of gender stereotypes that starts from an analysis of the teacher. After this analysis, the teacher will be able to proceed with the activities in the classroom.
In this article we answer some questions regarding the decision to transform Learn to Change from an association to a collective.
In this article, we talk about what we mean by Collective – the new form chosen by L2C – and how you can join it.
Learn to Change’s members held a General Assembly in fall 2022, in which the decision was taken to transform the association into a less formal, and more agile entity. Therefore, we will change status, going from an ‘organization’ to a less formal entity that we name “The collective”
If you feel you are committed to the vision and mission of the association, then your place is here.
We are sure that becoming a member will benefit you in many ways. Read the product description for more details or click sign up now.
