Gender Equity in Education Matters.

Gender plays a role in how students think of themselves. It affects their relationships, their social lives and impacts their expectations about further education and careers.

Gender stereotypes influence children’s confidence, aspirations, and subject choices from an early age. Gender unconscious and conscious biases can limit opportunities and reinforce inequality throughout life.

Free workshops on Gender Unconscious and Conscious Bias for Dundee primary school educators.

We know from our discussions with Dundee primary school educators, they do not benefit from gender bias training. They are interested in our live, in-person workshops to improve their understanding.

Our free workshops explore:

  • pervasive nature of gender stereotypes in education and beyond

  • how stereotypes originate and persist from early years to adulthood

  • provide practical strategies to recognise and challenge bias in everyday interactions

Teacher Benefits:

  • Gain a deeper understanding of how stereotypes become embedded

  • Practical tools and actionable steps to challenge stereotypes within the classroom and school environment. 

Pupil Benefits:

  • Improved Academic Outcomes

  • Increased Engagement & Confidence

  • Reduced Stereotyping

  • Increased Mental Health & Well-being

  • Broader Aspirations

  • Better Social-Emotional Learning

We aim to help address the inequalities in young people’s lives that can be driven by gender bias.

We are planning to two workshops in November 2026 for Dundee primary school educators. Our workshops are funding dependent. For more information about our free workshops, please contact sam@equalathome.org.uk

Our workshops are included on Dundee City Council’s Commissioning Framework for Education and Social Services.
