The Arab Foundation for Freedom and Equality (AFE) has launched the third round of its Social Change Program focused on Gender and Sexuality. The program aims to build the capacities of 20 change agents from the MENA region through 7 thematic modules that address issues of gender and sexuality from a social justice and activism approach. The program is a practical training based on peer learning and exchange. The program includes 7 training modules lasting between 4 and 6 days, held throughout the year of 2013, and opportunities to participate in a mentorship program, internships and exchanges.
Eligibility
- Individuals from and/or residing in the MENA region working or beginning to work on sexual and bodily rights, and/or gender equality in any field are eligible to apply.
- However, due to the nature of the program the following limitations need to be taken into consideration when considering applying:
- All trainings will be conducted in Arabic, applicants need to be able to understand Arabic
The training is highly demanding, with required traveling, long-term commitments, and required deliverables, it is thus important that applicants have sufficient time and flexibility to be able to complete the various requirements of the program
The training component will be concluded in October 2013, but in order to complete the program, participants will be required to submit and implement a small graduation project. The completion of projects may take until May 2014. The program is therefore an 18 months program
All application material must be completed and sent to AFE by January 13, 2013. For more information, visit this link.
