Resources
The Enduring Voices Foundation has built up considerable experience in organizing and running fun, effective, public engaging workshops on a variety of human rights, culture, arts and activism related topics. We understand what it takes to inspire young people, even those who tend to be difficult to engage, and have distilled this knowledge into a workshop formula for the ambitious 2030 Dreams and Hard2Engage project.
Two elements of our workshops have proved to be particularly powerful: role-plays and discussion forums. All inclusive interactive role-play scenarios serve to bring the academic and public awareness-building information provided into the real world, giving them something to relate to on a personal level. Our role-plays strike a sensitive balance between being realistic and straying into overly controversial areas. We never single any indigenous communities, institutions or public audiences out or make them feel embarrassed or uncomfortable.
Open discussion forums give indigenous communities, young people, scholars and researchers the space and respect to air their own views and propose their own solutions to 21st Century problems; after all, they are on the front line. The Enduring Voices Foundation, Indigenous Community facilitators and the academia are on hand to guide the debate, ensure fair participation and ensure a respectful attitude is maintained. Nevertheless, the actual workshop format is very flexible and workshops can be customized to fit in with the public engagement agenda.
What Is the Hard2Engage Programme?
Hard2Engage focuses on those difficult topics nobody seems to want to talk about and asks the questions most of us are too scared to ask. The Hard2Engage programme combines workshops, training programmes, consultations, lectures, life coaching and resources and tackles some of the toughest subjects in Kenya and across East Africa today including Intersex Rights, Gender Violence, Online Violence, Threat on Human Rights Defenders, Female Genital Mutilation, Early Child Marriages, Child Brides, Other Outdated cultures and illegal drugs.
Before we can hope to make positive changes in our communities we need to have our eyes wide open and be prepared to face some stark truths about what is happening on our streets. Hard2Engage is committed to raising real awareness, engaging with all members of afflicted communities and then taking positive action which will actually have a chance of working.
