Classroom Activities on Gender Stereotypes and Equality

This educational resource offers practical and engaging classroom activities designed to help students explore gender stereotypes, reflect on their origins, and understand how they influence everyday choices. Through discussions, role-based tasks, and self-reflection, learners are encouraged to question traditional beliefs about gender roles, recognise unconscious biases, and develop confidence in pursuing any interest or career — regardless of gender.

The set includes different exercises, such as identifying gender-coded assumptions, debating common statements about equality, analysing subject choices through a “gender lens,” and sharing personal “lightbulb moments” when gender-based expectations were felt. Collectively, these activities create a safe space for awareness, empathy, dialogue, and positive change in school environments.

This material is ideal for teachers, trainers, youth workers, and anyone aiming to build inclusive learning spaces that actively challenge stereotypes and promote equality.
