On 11 February, we grabbed the learning opportunity generally offered by international days and extensively discussed the reasons why women are a mere minority when it comes to science. Our B2 and C2-level groups were surprised by the statistics, which revealed an alternate reality of inequality, largely disregarded by the public. Our students now have to create a mind map of the ideas contained in the slides and of the additional ones mentioned in class. All our work will culminate into the production of a problem-solution essay in the ECPE format and the sharpening of our students’ critical thinking skills.
