The second AGORA feminist camp

During the 4 days of the camp, we created a great space for exchange of experiences, inspire new projects through practical workshops, new skill development with the aid from partners and project experts. The program used innovative participatory methodologies based on a transformative learning process that addresses both personal, individual, organizational/societal and system level learning. With this summer camp, we, as non-governmental organizations working with women's and girls' issues, aim to better understand the interests, needs and activities of young feminists in Romania who are volunteers or employed in member organizations of the Romanian Women's Lobby Association (RoWL) and to bring them more into the center of our future strategy and actions.

Workshops were held with experts on selective topics such as women's political participation in elections, the "Purple Economy", sexuality and bodily autonomy and combating violence against women through the Istanbul Convention. Also, the experts present at the camp have contributed with training sessions to the development of strategic planning and the integration of knowledge on women's rights in the activity of member organizations, they showed how to build proactive, sustainable and regional strategic partnerships.

The project is implemented by Community Safety and Mediation Center Foundation in partnership with the Romanian Women's LOBBY Association, Foreningen HEDDA; Network of East-West Women; Bulgarian Platform of European Women's Lobby; Magyar Női Érdekérvényesítő Szövetség (Hungarian Women's Lobby) and benefits from a 249,943 euros grant from Active Citizens Fund Romania, programme funded by Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway through the EEA Grants Grants 2014 -2021: for more information visit www.eeagrants.org.
