Latviešu Forming youth leaders – impact!
How effective are the group methods for young leaders? At the beginning of the process very few youngsters in Latvia had given thought to what is the meaning of gender equality. Now, the young women and men say that…
gender roles and expectations from society about the behaviour of girls and boys put real pressure on their development.
Boys say for example that they experience pressure to become interested in sports even if they are truly not, while girls more often face expectations to fit in some unreal role models from magazines.
The work in groups was successful in achieving significant changes in attitude and behaviour in a relatively short time of two years. Noticeably, the boys turned less aggressive and inclined to abuse their power.
