Ms. Carey Choi, a professional sexuality education worker and the Education Manager at Teen's Key, delivered an enlightening workshop to HKUST students on the topic of how gender operates on various contexts. 

In the workshop, Carey facilitated interactive activities to address gender and sexuality. These activities included real-case scenarios and role-playing to demonstrate gender bias and stereotypes. There were also opportunities for group discussions and action planning for positive community impact, promoting gender awareness and sensitivity among university students in Hong Kong.

Through this workshop, students were able to gain a deeper understanding of gender, reflecting on their own values and thinking beyond the gender box.
