Toolkit
Based on educational activities developed and tested by about thirty teachers in Belgium, Greece, Italy and Romania, nine ready-to-use learning scenarios have been developed to support secondary school teachers in addressing issues of media representations of gender with their students. Usable within various disciplines, they all lead to the realization of a media production by and for young people in order to raise awareness of the school community about gender equity and tolerance.
