Short description of the activities

The coordinator distributed a document to the participants. The document showed 2 columns, one with male/female names (common and rare names based on local culture-the names can be modified according to the country) and the other column includes professions (popular/not so popular). The coordinator asked the participants to match the 2 columns based on their personal believes, to imagine which person does which profession. (no right/wrong answers). A discussion followed among the participants, facilitated by the coordinator based on their statements/ answers.
