It aims to create a safe learning enviroment where they can combine fun, creativity, silent reflection, and in-depth dialogue. The highly participatory and process-oriented workshops invite young women:

  • to explore their own self-worth
  • to identify their potential and draw out their sense of dignity
  • to address the issues they feel impact their lives
  • to create solutions by first delving into the true meaning and expression of self-respect.

Target Audience: Young women between the ages of 16-22 and 23-30 from all backgrounds and social statuses. The wider the variety and mix of young women, the richer the interaction and integration.

Subject Matter: Self-Awareness, Self-Respect, Empowerment, and Diginity.

Methodology: Interactive opening and closing plenary sessions which may include prominent women in the community who are particularly involved with the issues of and value the contributions of young women. Creative workshops, silent introspection, visualization, and evaluation.
