Quotes of participants

“The thing I appreciate the most is that the course had a direct impact on my practice. I am trying to use gender-balanced language and I am more sensitive to gender stereotypes.”

“I was glad that the group was diverse and I could hear different opinions.”

“I am a teacher at an elementary school. Before the course, I was not aware of how important is to deal with this topic and I must admit I was stereotypical. Now, I pay attention to what I say and how I treat children.”

“Thank you very much for all documents you uploaded to study materials. I really appreciate all the tips for further study.”
