The article illustrates and critically examines the experimentation of an educational and re-search workshop addressing nursing students aimed to make them reflect on professional and gender identity and practices in their future work. The workshop involved 16 mixed-gender participants and combined creative techniques and "traditional" qualitative methods, making the students co-producers of research results. Through photo-elicitation, photovoice, focus groups and video-making, the students were able to question how the gender dimension influ-ences professional practices and their own and society’s representations of the job they are going to perform. At the end, the article reflects on the potentialities and limits of these training courses and of creative research methods more generally.

Keywords: nursing education; gender; male nurses; care occupation; creative methods; training workshop.
