Observe reality and record all observations on: - Structural gender Do girls and boys do different activities? Why? Is the choice of
one gender the result of the choice of the other? - Symbolic gender What kind of femininity and masculinity is praised or criticised,
directly or indirectly, by young people or adults? - Inter-actional gender Who takes up the physical space and space of conversation? Are
there fixed roles? Who takes initiatives, who adapts? Who gets leaders’ attention? - Personal gender

How do different girls and boys fit in with or contradict the pattern? What are the limits for behaviour? What are the consequences for
girls and boys if exceeding limits? Are they the same? Make someone else observe while you work with young people Interview groups of girls and boys Use interview guide in gender research report (Appendix II) Discuss findings and possible improvements Introduce changes to improve practice Encourage and support others to do the same
