The idea behind it

What are we talking about exactly?

Women* and men*, homophobia and transphobia, identity and values, equal rights and discrimination, stereotypes and diversity: topics, contrasts and points of view that couldn't be more topical. With "Let's Talk About Gender", the Pestalozzi Children's Foundation, together with the Department of Integration and Equal Opportunities of the Canton of St.Gallen, offers a current, interesting and fresh offer for young people on the subject of gender. "Let's Talk About Gender" promotes independent thinking, whereby the young people develop sensitivity for social diversity and different life models. By working with the medium of radio, they also assume responsibility and share their views publicly.

Sequence

From the beginning to the end

This is how we work together

Would you like to get to the bottom of the topic of respect with your class or youth group during a class camp or a project week? Or would you rather deepen the topic week by week in a specific teaching unit or in a subject? No problem! The "Let's Talk About Gender" project is flexible in its implementation. It can extend over several weeks or months, or be implemented over consecutive days. Simply contact us and we will put together the course elements according to your wishes. The following elements are provided:

Kick off

The project team of the Pestalozzi Children's Foundation informs the accompanying persons at the school or the community.

Course day

Under the guidance of the project team of the Pestalozzi Children's Foundation, the young people deal with the topic of gender.

Deepening phase

The young people deepen the contents of the course day, develop programs independently and prepare their live contributions. They are supported by accompanying persons on site or by the project team of the Pestalozzi Children's Foundation.

Radio day "on air"

The young people go on the air with their contributions, managed by the project team of the Pestalozzi Children's Foundation.

If the project is implemented as part of a camp or a project week, the course day and in-depth phase merge.
