Description

#TeamGirl are Superheroes

Before starting this section, consider this question:
‘Imagine a world where all girls and boys are equal. What would be different?’
Each person could write down or draw their answers. You could also go around the group and take turns saying one thing aloud.

Learning Outcome:
• Recognise your own strength and power to make a difference.

Introduction: Research from Girlguiding UK shows 75 per cent of girls aged 11 to 22 believe women are judged more on their appearance than their ability. In this activity you will be creating SDG superheroes. Throughout the session make sure to focus on the abilities, characteristics, power and strength of the superheroes – not how they look.

Resources

 Paper
 Colouring pens or pencils
 selection of recycled materials, this could include newspaper, plastic bags or string

Instructions

Using pens and paper, each person draws and describes their own superhero. The pictures should show or explain the following:
• What is the superhero called?
• What powers do they have?
• What messages do they want to share with the world?
• How do they help to empower women and girls?
• What issues relating to women and girls are they trying to change?

After ten minutes, gather the group and share superheroes. Each person should share one thing they think their superhero needs to create a more equal world.

As a whole group, or in small teams of five or six people, everyone works together to create a superhero outfit for one team member.
They use the recycled materials, pens and paper. This should incorporate all the ideas about what a superhero needs to create a more equal world.

Debrief/Discussion
Finish this session by explaining to the group they really are superheroes too. Each of them has the power to make the world more equal for girls and boys. At the end of this session each person should write a pledge. This is one step they will take to help promote gender equality.
