Bold Voices at QEH

This week we were pleased to be joined once more by the team at Bold Voices.

Continuing our efforts to educate the pupils on the matter of gender inequality, Bold Voices gave a talk to Year 9 looking at gender stereotypes and the power of language. This was then followed by workshops, assisted by some of our Sixth Form Bold Voices Ambassadors, in which the boys looked at the intersectionality of stereotypes, attitudes, social structures and experiences in order to inform their own views, behaviour and actions going forward.

Bold Voices gave a further two talks to Year 11 and to the Sixth Form, followed by an afternoon of workshops training our Ambassadors, once again looking at gender stereotyping and the role of non-gendered language, as well as empowering the students to challenge inequality and the attitudes, language and cultures that lead to gender-based violence.

We thank Bold Voices for their valuable contribution in this crucial area and look forward to working with them again over the coming months.
