Designing Solutions for Women's Equality

Students meet their partner class, share their local context on women's equality, and agree on shared norms and a common project theme.

Teams gather evidence on a women's equality issue locally and abroad, using interviews, observation and data, and organize findings in a shared space.

Students analyze the causes and everyday effects of the issue in each context, identifying shared factors and those specific to each community.

Cross-class teams brainstorm possible solutions and assess their feasibility and potential impact using community feedback and international perspectives.

Mixed teams build a practical initiative such as a campaign, mentoring program or policy proposal, and test prototype materials with community members.

Teams revise their initiative based on feedback from community members and partner classes, strengthening its scalability and sustainability.

Students present their final solution to local stakeholders and partner classes, then reflect together on what they learned about global and local equality.

Student teams select one real case of a women's equality issue, such as pay gaps or access to health care, and analyze it in depth using local and partner-class evidence. They identify who is affected, what policies or barriers exist, and what has already been tried.
