My Learning Journey - part 1

To begin our exhibition, we participated in workshops that taught us essential skills like how to think critically, do good research, and manage our time effectively. These skills have been super helpful throughout our exhibition. We had self management skills, thinking skills and research skills workshops.




After the workshops, we formed our groups, and I decided to focus on the important topic of gender inequality. I chose to use a blog and Instagram to document and share our progress with everyone.

After that, we took 3 weeks and made our exhibition newsletter. In the progress of that, we did some extreme research and used our minds in order to finalize our central idea, lines of inquiry and specified concepts, additional concepts, english and math strands, integrations with other subjects and more. 

Next, we unwrapped our central idea ( customs and traditions define our identity) and learned a lot about customs and traditions. 



After that, we unwrapped our 1st Line of inquiry ( power dynamics in societal structure)  in which we learned about power dynamics,  bride price and dowry, power dynamics in societies, how power is distributed in different places and a lot more.


Side by side we also researched about our additional concepts ( dowry, household inequality and educational inequality). We also did some research on the islamic point of view about gender disparity. Additionally have been making posters, writing reflections, making statistics and doing brain storming on canva and google docs then posting it on instagram and blog.

Dowry- It's origin, purpose and the impact of awareness

1.  How did the practice of dowry originate, and how has its purpose changed over time in different cultures? Dowry's beginnings are unclear, but it started in the pre-colonial era. It could include things like land or money for her new life of a bride.  Over time, in many places, dowry changed. Instead of helping the bride, it became a demand for money or valuable gifts from her family, often by the groom's family. This can cause huge financial problems and even violence if the bride's family can't pay. While dowry might still be a small, symbolic gift in some cultures, in others, it's become a harmful practice that treats women unfairly. 2. How can education and awareness help shift traditional gender expectations? Learning and understanding about gender equality can change how we think about traditional roles. When people are educated about stereotypes and their harm, they begin to challenge old ideas. Education empowers everyone to choose their own path, not...
