TOY - Trainers Online for Youth
This is a reference for Kinga Karp
- Sharing tools and practices that aim into reducing discrimination based on race, gender, psychosexual orientation, economic status, disability, age, ethnicity or religion
- Reflect on stereotypes and prejudices that we carry
- Raise awareness on experience of oppression (both external and internalized) in our organisations and wider society
- Understanding privilege related to the social groups we identify ourselves with or that we are identified with in the eyes of others/society
- Get more knowledge on intersectionality of oppressions
- Find solutions for discrimination mechanism reproduced in our activist groups and movements
The target group consisted of european social and environmental justice activists, representatives of the organisations from the following countries:
- Czech Republic
- Poland
- Spain
- UK
- Germany
- France
The Ulex Team is international, and I co-facilitated with other trainers from USA and UK.
We used ONLY non-formal learning methods, providing dynamics and structures taken from:
• Anti-discrimination workshops
• Drama exercises
• Warm-up, trust building, name learning activities
• Discussion, sharing, exchange of experience, movement & reflection.
We have prepared 14 participants to come back to their home organisations with tools and solutions to be implemented in the form of anti-oppression practices.
This training gave participants the know-how of building more inclusive and empowering environments for activism and social change work.
Preparing the program and co-facilitating on site.
Kinga brings in an enormous experience in the field of non-formal education and specifically anti-discrimination education. Kinga uses a range of different, participatory and creative methodologies and tools in her work. Some of the qualities are appreciate most in the way Kinga holds educational spaces are: empathy, ability to build strong container and trust between participant, intersectional perspective, responsiveness to feedback and learners needs.
