Empowerment Is A Shared Journey (Next Generation What We Know On Women And Girls)
Location: Gallery
A youth centered workshop targeting young WOW participants and attendees will equip them with the tools needed to interact with data and to use several mechanisms to hone their skills to visualise that data in real time at the workshop and co-create a shared empowerment journey map. ‘Empowerment is a shared journey’ is designed as a 90-minute activity-based workshop where groups of young people between the ages of 18 to 35, with guidance from seasoned facilitators and thought leaders in Pakistan, will work through two participatory research tools to: 1. Shape their understanding of problems relating to youth, their causes and consequences and how these may affect young women differently from young men and other gender identities. 2. Share their short- and medium-term aspirations. While working with these tools, participants (a minimum of 40 and a maximum of 64, with an equal gender balance) will be interacting with data from the seven-country flagship British Council study, Next Generation: What we know on women and girls, which is due to be released on the 2024 International Women’s Day. This activity will help situate the workshop’s insights in the broader context of what the team at CineKhan found through in-depth interviews with young people in Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Viet Nam, Nigeria, Ethiopia, and Poland. In addition to this activity, on both days, word clouds on ‘what is power’ (based on the seven-country study) will be on display for WOW attendees (of all ages) to interact with and add their own words, with support from trained volunteers.
