The Gender Effect

The Gender Effect

This Booklet is an outcome of “Gender Effect”, an international Training financed by Erasmus+ and it is an extension to the “Free to be you and me” toolkit. Included in this booklet there are two aspects important for youth workers to keep in mind in order to create gender-inclusive projects: empowerment and creating a safer space. Some new methods and resources are added in this booklet as well.

Free to be You and Me – a living toolkit for group leaders

SCI and volunteers from partner organisations in Africa created this Living Toolkit as a resource for organising activities which are safe and inclusive when it comes to gender.
The toolkit is created as an output of the project ‘Grassroots Change’ (coordinated by SCI Catalunya) which is tackling Gender and Decolonisation in international volunteering. With the work and input of African partner organisations, SCI’s existing gender toolkit ‘Free to be You and Me’ was updated to be useful for African realities. It highlights inspiring past activities on gender in Africa and beyond, new non-formal education methods, and diverse resources.
