Introduction:
“Women speaking up for themselves and for those around them is the strongest force we have to change the world.” - Melinda Gates
8th March is a very important day, we remember all those women who changed history and think about all those things still need to change. Unfortunately, there is still a lot to do. We know there are many maltreated women, discrimination and there is no gender equality in our world.
As Nelson Mandela says, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”
"Education is the key to eliminating gender inequality, to reducing poverty, to creating a sustainable planet, to preventing needless deaths and illness, and to fostering peace".
We, as teachers pretend to help humanity to step forward an equal society by spreading the values of tolerance, respect and gender equality among our young kids throughout this project.
