Leleka

On 5 March in Sumy State University held informational and educational footquest called "Sports gender orientation".

The idea of the event - to encourage participants to critically rethink existing gender stereotypes. Leading event coach Sergei Korol noticed: "This year we have moved away from the traditional framework of the festival and drew attention to the historical aspect of International Women's Day. We wanted to attract the attention of young people to harm certain stereotypes associated with personal behavior of men and women ... ".

In gender orientation was attended by law students and faculty IFSK. On the basis of each team had to perform the task, demonstrating the ability to maneuver between stereotypes. For example, to distribute traits in strictly male or female, for hairstyles determine the sex of the person, write a recipe semolina and dress the doll in a jumpsuit ... Members of gender orientation have to understand that stereotypes prevailing in society sometimes does not allow us to look at things objectively. After all, there is no male or female traits - traits is raising confidence regardless of gender; hair (especially in our time) no longer shows about sex and semolina will not only know how to cook mistress, but a real man.
