    Abstract:
    Gender mainstreaming has become an important issue in UE politics and has been included in most national educational policy. Nevertheless, its implementation is frequently more apparent than real. Here in Spain, schoolteachers are rarely prepared to overcome gender stereotypes. Moreover, university professors interested in developing gender awareness in future professionals generally face difficulties due to, on the one hand, the lack references and models to follow and, on the other hand young people general resistance to feminism claims. In this article we present a specific case of action research developed in order to stimulate gender self-awareness in future schoolteachers. The aim of the text is double: firstly, to critically evaluate our teaching experience in order to improve it in the next years and, secondly, to stimulate a debate with colleagues on potentialities and pitfalls of teaching gender sensibility to future schoolteachers and other educators.
