Project Lead
CurrentI am the UK Project Lead for the Global Boyhood Initiative (GBI), an international programme promoting healthy boyhood from an early age, . Lifting Limits is the UK implementation partner for GBI. In partnership with Equimundo, Lifting Limits has developed a new curriculum for Key Stage 2 (aged 7-11) children of all genders, called “Me, My Future, Our World: Exploring Gender in the Lives of Young Children”. This is the first GBI initiative in the UK and, with France, is one of the first in Europe. It is being funded by the Cummins Foundation. “Me, My Future, Our World” is being piloted in two South London primary schools. KS2 teachers in the two schools have been trained to deliver this new curriculum over a period of 10 weeks.The pilot aims to produce a replicable programme that will support schools and children across the UK. Evidence from this pilot will influence future curriculum design and implementation in the UK and across the world. It will also enable more schools and children to benefit from this vital work.The CurriculumThe curriculum aims to promote gender equality, develop healthier identities for all children and challenge limiting gender stereotypes.
