“I like when I scuffle with my brother and we roll on the bed,one on the other, as if we are fighting, but without hurting”

“I like when I pedal like a rocket and I throw down a descent with the air whistling in my ears and ruffling my hair...”

In few lines, collected in an accordion book illustrated by Antonio Ferrara, a character describes itself – as in a nursery rhyme – through what it loves to do.Scuffling, cooking, climbing, play with cards, and many other things. Is it a boy or a girl? We wonder through the pages, but the gender of the protagonist is revealed only at the end of this short story, reversing the accordion, in a poster that shows the face and the desire to live a childhood outside the schemes.

Cloe is a six-year-old girl who tells stories that her mother types into the computer. She is also truly passionate about her new Spiderman schoolbag that she chose to begin primary school. With the exception of only her parents, everyone around Cloe judges this purchase with the same exclamation: «That’s for boys!». Cloe wants to play soccer with her friends and she loves super-hero t-shirts, but education and toys are rigidly divided between boys and girls. She wants to be free and asks to her hairdresser to make her look like her male schoolmates «because boys can do what they want». The book discusses various issues related to gender stereotypes and identity, but also the relationship between children within an increasingly multicultural context.

This book incorporates the experience of the educational pro-gram against gender-based violence carried out in middle schools by Soccorso Rosa association, in cooperation with Terre des Hommes ngo and Fare x Bene ngo. Why is it aimed at middle school students? Because the imagination of boys and girls regarding the rela-tionships between men and women is influenced by gender stereotypes starting around the ages of 10 and 11. The book’s main purpose is to deconstruct this imaginary structure and to rebuild the relationship based on respect and collaboration be-tween men and women. Main contents: conflict management, gender stereotypes, cy-berbullying. The course includes both theoretical and practical activities, role playing, etc.
