Early involvement…

Early start and continued Action

– Before the age of 10 (preferably in the kindergarten stage) to avoid early disapproval.

– Avoid stagnation during the transition (10-14 years).

 – In the stage after the age of 16, reinforce specific sectors (for example women for engineering).

… and with a gender perspective

With a gender/intersection approach:

– Inclusive language (e.g. characteristics vs verbs; effects vs products; value vs cost…)

– Visual inclusion (presence of females and males in equivalent tasks)

– Contextualization and focus on practical objectives (e.g. creation of well-being)

– Cooperative and competitive environments.
