Launch: “Gender: First Steps”

The methodology emerges as an innovative proposal in response to the limitations of traditional gender training approaches for public servants and private sector employees. Developed from the Conversápolis exchange space, facilitated by GIZ/German Cooperation, this methodology aims to overcome the deficiencies of virtual courses without personalized support, which often only fulfill formal requirements without promoting meaningful learning or practical skills.

“Gender: First Steps” is specifically designed for beginners with no prior knowledge of gender. Its experiential and inductive approach allows participants to collectively build knowledge from their own experiences, fostering transformative learning. Its flexibility makes it applicable to various topics within the gender framework, adapting to different contexts. Furthermore, it incorporates a playful-practical approach with simulations and role-playing games that generate empathy and understanding.

In summary, “Gender: First Steps” sets a new standard in the transfer of gender knowledge, providing a methodology with greater impact, sensitivity, and sustainability. Its implementation strengthens the soft skills of public servants and private sector employees, promoting more equitable and inclusive spaces at the national level.
