With funding from the UNESCO participation programme and the Mekriba Foundation, ICYE was able to conduct the first regional training for staff from our members in Africa. From March 13th to 17th, 2023, 15 participants were trained in Nairobi, Kenya on how to prevent and respond to sexual violence in international volunteering. With our member SES in Argentina, ICYE had developed a training manual with interactive non-formal education activities which was piloted by the participants in Nairobi.
The feedback and recommendations from the training informed the finalisation of the Safer Together – Our Policy in Action manual and the subsequent regional workshops:
17.-21. April 2023 in Vienna, Austria with 21 participants
08.-12. March 2024 in Songkhla, Thailand with 15 participants
10.-14. April 2024 in Quito, Ecuador with 26 participants
