Program description

Future is Feminist program is a set of trainings for young and inspiring girls and women who are ready to learn, progress, lead and serve democratic processes and want to develop their career in business or politics.

The training should provide understanding and skills in managing human resources, budget, priorities and time, as well as in-depth knowledge of the principles of women's governance.

Оваа програма се разликува од обуки на други теми поради тоа што допира до лични и политички прашања. Обуката се фокусира на четирите клучни карактеристики: знаење, ставови, вештини и навики. Токму затоа пред тренингот се предвидува проценка на потребите на учесниците. Токму затоа обуката е дизајнирана да биде флексиилна и да успее да ги опфати сите прашања, а во исто време да ги пресретне потребите на учесниците.

In a period of 6 months (April - November), 4 thematic units will be held for a duration of 2 days or a total of 8 working days.

Way of conducting the program

The program is in the format of interactive workshops. The approach of the trainer is open, that is, the trainer has his own section for the presentation of the contents with space for questions and discussions by the participants

The sessions consist of 70% exercises through which the participants will be able to use the acquired knowledge and directly put themselves in the situation of decision-makers or leaders who have to manage an institution/organization/company. In addition, two thematic units include inspirational speakers who will further strengthen the self-confidence of the participants.

Training is best conducted in person because it requires intensive interaction and discussions about value systems and attitudes. The training should be implemented in a space that offers the opportunity to build trust between the participants as well as a space for informal discussions on the topic. It is significant that there is a representation of women from different ethnic communities in the group of participants.

Approach of trainers

The aim of the program is to provide a space for the participants to apply the knowledge gained during the training, to reconsider their attitudes and to exchange experiences. Presentations should cover the basic issues of the topic and leave room for discussion. Audiovisual aids are crucial for making presentations more effective.

Applying an appropriate seating arrangement can encourage active participation and encourage exchange of experiences between participants. It is recommended that participants sit in small groups around a table. There should be enough space in the room for role playing, demonstration and movement exercises.
