CREATING CONTENT FOR ADVOCACY IN EDUCATION: A STRATEGY FOR EMPOWERMENT
Adult educators and women active citizens urgently need specific competences to know how to address communication on GENDER BASED DISCRIMINATIONS AND VIOLENCE in an innovative way:
– giving positive message on the issues (respect and freedom VS violence),
– acquiring a gender perspective and an intersectional approach, as recommended by the European Strategy for Gender Equality.
To do that, it is necessary nourish the ability of women – involved in educational processes – to communicate through universal, effective and appropriate languages, to inform and raise awareness of both policy makers and the general public with messages that reach both the minds and hearts of people and stakeholders, influencing their action.
Advocacy can include the following methods:
– Awareness Raising: Informing and educating
– Networking: Building alliances for change.
– Campaigning: Using the pressure of public opinion to persuade decision-makers.
The final creation of a video is not only a tangible result, but represents a learning experience that integrates several areas of competency:
Personal empowerment: creating and reciting a universal message out loud helps to strengthen self-confidence and a sense of identity and belonging.
Communication skills: participants learn expressive reading techniques and effective communication.
Cooperative approach: the video becomes a way to spread the universal message to a wider audience, helping to raise awareness and inspire other people.
This activity consolidates the entire path of the educational workshop, transforming individual and collective reflections into a creative product that represents the strength of “free voices without borders”.
