The educator introduces SDG 5 with a YouTube video, allows for some small-group student discussion, and then shows another video. After the second video, there will be time for more small group discussions and then a debate.
Time:
120 minutes plus 120 minutes
Teaching methods:
Small group discussion, student-centered learning, collaborative learning, active learning
Short description:
This lesson focuses on SDG 5, gender equality. Learners will learn about SDG 5, then discuss in small groups before watching an excerpt from a speech that Emma Watson delivered at the United Nations about feminism (from the “HeForShe” campaign). After watching the video there will be another small group discussion that the trainer will sum up at the end of the session, to collect main points and key words.
How to use it?
The trainer will introduce SDG 5 by showing a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vz7IUDOYvXk
After watching the video, the trainer will share these questions for discussions on a PowerPoint presentation so that all students can see:
- Is there gender equality in the transportation field today?
- Why/ why not?
- What (if anything) stands in the way of more women entering this field of work?
- What would the benefits be of a more gender equal workforce in the transportation industry?
These are open-ended questions designed to let the participants problematise and think about these issues.
Now, the trainer will show this excerpt from the Emma Watson speech: https://youtu.be/nIwU-9ZTTJc
After watching, there will be a small group discussion based on these questions (shown on PowerPoint):
- What is feminism?
- Why are not all women identifying themselves as “feminists”?
- Can men be feminists?
- Why are not all men identifying themselves as “feminists”?
After small group discussions, the trainer will engage the whole class in discussion, reading each question and letting the students share what they have discussed, encouraging further discussions on the topics.
Benefits/Limits:
- Learners develop a deeper understanding of gender equality and the meaning of feminism.
- Discussing topics with a partner, then the whole group, confirms and strengthens the acquired information and offers the participants opportunity to explore and problematise each solution.
- Open questions, rather than right-or-wrong-questions, encourage all participants to engage and have an opinion and engage in discussions and common discoveries.
