Peer Education Breaking Free Topic Training Day

Calling all Peer Educators

We are giving existing peer educators within Girlguiding South West England the opportunity to be trained on the topic, Breaking Free.

Gender stereotyping happens every day. It’s in the way clothes are designed, the toys we give children and the jobs we’re encouraged to do. We know that these gender stereotypes make it harder for young people to achieve their dreams. 

Girls tell us that they’re surrounded by stereotypes. And that seeing simplified versions of what it means to be a girl makes it harder for them to be themselves. They want things to change.

Breaking Free is all about helping young people make that change, by giving them the tools to identify and challenge gender stereotypes.
