Education guide: gender and citizenship: 3rd cycle

Abstract

Aimed at the formal education and, in particular, the cross-curricular area of Education and Citizenship, these Guides constitute a support tool for teachers in all curricula subjects within all levels and types of formal education. The main purpose of the Education Guides. Gender and Citizenship is to mainstream gender perspective in formal educational practices and organizational dynamics within educational establishments attempting to uproot gradually stereotypes based on gender. These stereotypes predefine what a boy is expected to do as well as what a girl is expected to do. Therefore, the Guides were designed to contribute to an effective education for citizenship for girls and boys. The aim is to make boys and girls genuinely and freely choose their academic, professional and life projects.
