The document outlines a learn-a-thon activity for students to understand and promote gender equality. It involves 6 activities: 1) defining gender equality visually, 2) measuring indicators of equality, 3) explaining trends, 4) discussing findings, 5) reflecting on understandings, and 6) creating an inspiring women campaign using social media. Working in groups across countries, students research online, analyze data, discuss issues, and design a collaborative campaign to raise awareness of gender equality goals.
