Kick off the Activity ‘Creative Voices: Youth and Gender Diversity’

On October 19, 2024, CKC launched an exciting new initiative titled ‘Creative Voices: Youth and Gender Diversity’ at Phu Thuong Secondary School in Hue with the engagement of over 40 enthusiastic students from grades 6 to 9 in the English Club.

The session, titled ‘Who Am I?’, was led by Poppy Fowler, CKC’s Gender Expert. Students engaged in various activities to exploreoften unrecognized gender perspectives within their emotions and thoughts. Key activities included:
–               A quick survey to stimulate reflection on gender in the surrounding environment.
–               An interactive game, ‘Is it a girl thing or a boy thing?’, which encouraged open discussion.
–               Learning essential English terminologies related to gender and equality.

CKC is delighted to partner with the Management Board, teachers, and students of Phu Thuong Secondary School to create a platform for ongoing discussions about gender diversity.

The ‘Creative Voices: Youth and Gender Diversity’ initiative aims to provide six weeks of sharing and creative activities that raise awareness of gender issues and empower students to think critically about social issues. By facilitating cultural and intellectual exchanges with experts in social research and community development, CKC hopes to inspire students to express themselves and engage meaningfully in conversations about gender diversity in their lives.
