What is WOW’s Big Ideas?:

So much of the conversation surrounding gender equality and diversity can feel overwhelming, negative and frankly scary. Big Ideas offers an opportunity to break free of this cycle of negativity, dream big and explore positive solutions to difficult challenges. The WOW Big Ideas programme was co-curated with Children’s Capital of Culture, amplifying the voices of our future.

Adolescence:

A panel discussion focused on gender in schools, as they responded to the recently-released programme, ‘Adolescence’. As they discussed the rise of public figures who promote misogyny.

Teachers from Clifton, Brinsworth and Maltby Academies have shared their experiences of holding spaces in schools for challenging conversations about gender. The panel members also shared their perspectives about screening ‘Adolescence’ in schools and about who else should be watching.

Both Adolescence and Conversations For Change discussions were be chaired by Colette Bailey – Managing Director of WOW Global
