A
stereotype
is an idea that
people might have about a
group of other people.
Sometimes, what you might
think about a group of
people might be true for
some of them, but to say
they are
ALL
something
(and especially something
bad) then that’s a
stereotype.

Exploring stereotypes: Nursery Rhyme
What Are Little Boys/Girls Made of?
What are little boys made of?
What are little boys made of?
Frogs and snails,
And puppy-dogs' tails;
That's what little boys are made of.
What are little girls made of?
What are little girls made of?
Sugar and spice,
And all that's nice;
That's what little girls are made of.

Science and technology subjects are for

FALSE
Truth
:
Girls and women have been under
represented in these subjects at school,
and so this becomes true in University
and the workplace. But things are
changing and girls are picking these
subjects and doing better at school and so
becoming students and workers in these
areas of work.

What is equality?
Equality is about making sure that every person
has the same chances to make the most of their
lives and talents.
It is also the belief that no one should have poorer
life chances because of the way they were born,
where they come from, what they believe, or
whether they have a disability.
Equality recognises that certain groups of people
like girls/women, LGBT people, people with
disabilities or people from Black/Minority Ethnic
communities have experienced discrimination.
Who do I look up to?
Who inspires me to be the best
person I can be?

There are no rules
about how to be a
girl or a boy - be who
you want to be.
