The international training "girls-empowerment" will take place in Bielefeld (Germany) from October 12th until October 18th 2014 with 21 participants. The training is directed to young women who are practicing youth work with girls as well as students (of social studies) who want to learn how to work with the tools of empowerment for girls. The target of the training is to enable the participants to contribute to the empowerment of girls in their own country as well as in international projects. The partners from Turkey, Austria, Poland, Romania and Germany want to enlarge their capacities towards girls empowerment and get encouraged to work as multipliers in their own country. By focussing on gender-related issues the training will contribute to the quality of youth-work . Empowerment is a pedagogical approach to support girls in their self-esteem und self-determination. The intention of empowerment is to open up space for the potentials and vividness of girls. Participants will learn how to work with different tools in groups of girls, get insight in girls-projects and know more about girls in different countries. The approach on empowerment will mainly be realized by outdoor activities and body-oriented games. A manual about “empowerment in the work with girls“ which was developed during an European network-project in 2012 will be used during the training and provided as practical information after the training. The non- formal learning approach will include personal experiences and attitudes of all participants.
