As part of the HIS PYP exhibition, which will be held on May 19th, we have decided to reflect on gender equality.
Our research showed that even though the situation has changed positively over time, a lot still needs to be done to achieve gender equality in many domains, such as: education, employment, politics… Also, gender equality varies a lot depending on where you live on Earth.
It is important to raise awareness as young as possible to be able to act positively about it. It’s in our hands to create a more balanced future between men and women. We will all benefit from it!
At the exhibition, we will present the outcome of our research through art. There will be a wall painting (organized by Elli) and a comic book (organized by Marie).
Before the exhibition, we will organize an action: a drawing competition. All HIS students, parents and teachers are invited to submit a drawing that illustrates how they see the relationship between men and women and positive changes they want to see. The submission deadline is May 13th. There will be three winners. They will get a certificate, and their drawings will be displayed on a wall at school.
We hope that many of you will participate and we look forward to seeing you at the exhibition!
