Workshop for women in politics

The Mediterranean Institute of Gender Studies (MIGS) is hosting an EU-funded training seminar on “Young Women: Fit for Politics!” which will take place on Saturday-Sunday, March 17-18.

The workshop is aimed at young women aged 18-25 and aims to provide the participants with an opportunity to acquire or improve upon many skills such as public speaking, debate, presentation, research and organizational skills or aiding their personal development.

Through this interactive and adaptable training manual, young women will be trained in leadership skills, such as rhetoric, presentation techniques, assertiveness, self-assuredness, consensus-oriented debating, teamwork, open-mindedness, defining personal skills and weaknesses and working with them, setting and pursuing aims, developing plans, taking responsibility, networking etc.

The workshop is offered within the framework of the “Young Women: Fit for Politics!” project coordinated by Women without Borders (Austria) and funded by the European Commission Socrates Programme. The project aims to improve and enhance female youth participation in local politics and start a networking and exchange process on an international level in order to empower young women in their rights and responsibilities as active citizens.

The workshop material and programme was developed by Women without Borders-WwB (Austria), the Mediterranean Institute of Gender Studies-M.I.G.S (Cyprus) and ARI Movement (Turkey).
