Another impactful Gender Sensitization Workshop was conducted by Breaking Barriers campaigners for Soami Nagar Model School students of grades 9 to 12 on 16th July 2022. Our enthusiastic students are eager to create similar resource groups in other educational institutions.
The workshop was conducted in collaboration with the High Commission of Canada , in two batches of one hour each, with more than a hundred students benefiting from this workshop. The workshop started with a short talk and video by the Deputy High Commissioner of Canada, Ms Amanda Strohan highlighting why such workshops are extremely important at youth level.
Breaking Barriers is a youth level social initiative based on United Nations Sustainable Development Goal no. 4, Gender Equality. The focus of this sensitization workshop was:
- to reduce bullying and discrimination that happens at educational level.
- to spread awareness on human rights, equal opportunities and lgbt rights
- to raise empathetic humans who respect diversity in all forms and create a inclusive and just world for all
- to open dialogue and foster open mindedness right from a young age
- to offer a platform that allows conversations that were long treated as stereotypes
