EDUCATIONAL TOOLBOX «Ctrl+Alt+GBV»
Introduction
The menABLE Toolbox “Ctrl+Alt+GBV” is a visual educational resource on gender-based violence online, aimed at young people aged 13-18. The material aims to address and facilitate discussions on gender and gender identity, encourage reflection, and provide concrete guidelines for action.
The aim of the material is to enhance students’ understanding of the unfortunate, difficult, and unpleasant experiences one can have online, and to increase their reflection on how they can act to protect themselves and each other. Additionally, the ambition is for students to become more aware of their own biases when discussing gender.
Structure of the menABLE Toolbox
The material broadly comprises two types of content:
Dilemmas and quizzes (online)
These are presented as first-person case studies where the class or group acts as an advice “board”, discussing and providing guidance on how the young person could act. Accompanying these dilemmas are some guiding questions designed to initiate discussion and address relevant aspects.
All dilemmas are accessible through the interactive tool and accessible in 5 languages: Danish, Dutch, English, Greek and French.
Challenges (onsite)
These are interactive tasks that students can work on in groups. While the dilemmas have a uniform structure, the challenges are more diverse and require more preparation from the teacher and time for the students to complete.
Please note that the list of challenges has been slightly adjusted to reflect language and cultural differences.
To access the translations and navigate the challenges, please refer to the teacher’s guide available in your respective language.
Teacher’s guide to using the menABLE Toolbox
