For several years now, the “MaMer Égalitéit” project has been organized in local schools by the Commission for the Equality of Opportunities, Maison Citoyenne and the Ministry of Gender Equality and Diversity. For one week, workshops on the theme of equality are held in the basic schools of Mamer and Capellen. This year, 360 pupils took part in the project.
One of the topics discussed was: “Stereotypes and violence – Violence is never acceptable”. This workshop was led by the Foyer Sud team. The other major theme was: “Alexa, why are you a woman?” – algorithms can also lead to discrimination. This course also raised awareness of the dangers of artificial intelligence. The expert speaker was Jean-Claude Bisenius from the French Ministry of Gender Equality and Diversity.
Children from both schools participated actively throughout the week, showing great interest in both subjects.
