Imagine if some kids were told they couldn't be captains of the team just because of who they are. This project looks at how classrooms accidentally teach girls that politics isn't for them. By testing new ways of teaching, they are creating a toolkit to help girls feel confident enough to lead and run for office one day.
There is a persistent gender gap in political leadership and ambition that starts in the classroom. This limits the talent pool for future political and leadership roles, especially for girls from disadvantaged backgrounds.
