Provincial Government of Manabí: Capacity building in human rights, organization, participation and local management for 300 women
Capacity building in human rights, organization, participation and local management for 300 women of the Permanent Forum of Ecuadorian Women MANABI through the Rosa Álava Association.
The project began with the compilation of a database of women participating in the Permanent Forum of Ecuadorian Women in Manabí, who were encouraged to participate in project events and in turn invited other women to join.
Once enrolled, the project participants were given personalized support to ensure their attendance at each of the training workshops, help with homework, and support in taking exams, given that the population is made up of people from rural communities, with connectivity difficulties and without a strong link to training processes. Therefore, it was a challenge for them to comply with this process.
In addition, logistical aspects (premises, refreshments, supplies, materials, etc.) necessary to carry out the project events were managed, and in other cases, the participants themselves organized to contribute with food to be shared in the meetings.
During the training workshops and other events planned in the project with the participating women, attendance records were kept and photographs were taken which, although necessary to show the work done to the GPM, turned out to be motivating experiences for the women.
The training process was called Introductory Course on Human Rights, Participation, Organization and Local Management, and lasted 48 hours and consisted of 6 thematic units: Human Rights, Social Organization and Leadership, Citizen Participation and Local Management.
The classroom activities were developed following dynamic, participatory and interactive constructivist methodologies that seek the development of meaningful learning, for this we start from the previous knowledge that each user has, to associate it with new information; in order to provoke a process of relationship between both information, this implied that new ideas, concepts and propositions can be learned significantly through the combination of previous knowledge, with the new knowledge acquired.
The activities were designed in such a way as to favor processes that promote conceptual change and allow the development of the trained women, starting from concepts, principles and explanations (knowledge); procedures (know how to do): attitudes, values and norms (know how to be), based on which the methodological structure was designed that allowed reaching the participants in an atmosphere of trust and dynamism.
