Boys' and girls' games

Is there really a distinction?

Audience: boys and girls aged 4-10 with accompanying adult

An engaging experience that opens the door to deep reflection on gender stereotypes and their impact on growth. Through play, children will have the opportunity to freely manifest implicit gender stereotypes that can influence their preferences, thinking and choices. A unique opportunity for parents to take part in discussions and share ideas on guiding an educational pathway.
