Creation of pedagogical kit : Leadership and strategies of influence of girls and women on young Lebanese and Syrian refugees in Lebanon
Context
Bibliothèques Sans Frontières works to strengthen the capacity to act and the autonomy of populations in, through access to information, education and culture. To do this, it projects the library where it is not to make it accessible to the most vulnerable populations.
Since 2014, Bibliothèques Sans Frontières has been rolling out theIdeas Box – this kit media library created with designer Philippe Starck to facilitate access to information, education and culture for the most vulnerable populations – among refugee populations, by situation of great precariousness or exclusion.
With more than 400,000 visits and 70 Ideas Boxes deployed in around 20 countries around the world, the program is now scaling up and demonstrating strong impacts in terms of education, protection, resilience and empowerment of populations.
Yet blind spots persist. Girls and women are under-represented in theaudience Ideas Box, with just 29% attendance. And when they come to the Ideas Box, they are often locked into stereotypical uses : accompanying their children, to consult information books on their own, or to find out about the services to which their family can have access. They very rarely participate in training workshops organized in the Ideas Box, and too often because social, psychological and symbolic barriersfrom prevent themdoing so.
The challenge is immense when it comes to ensuring that girls and women have the same opportunities for development and empowerment as boys and men. However, we see on a daily basis how women and girls are the most exposed groups in crisis situations and in the face of exclusion. It is in this context that we are launching, alongside the Chanel Foundation,
Ideas Box for Women, an initiative transversal to the Ideas Box program which will aim to bring out and structure a set of activities and services dedicated to empowerment and strengtheningof girls and women in the program.
An initial diagnosis carried out on a sample of 30 projects made it possible to identify thethemes priorityfor girls and women of the Ideas Box programs currently deployed. One of these themes (n ° 4) is support for leadership and strategies for influencing girls and women.
A kit is being developed to reinforce this theme in the Ideas Box. It includes:
A selection of digital content packages (i.e. 10 to 20 digital content), aimed at a
given educational objective, for a given audience, in a given language,
A recommendation of physical content related to the theme,
The content of the online training for facilitators,
The course of the face-to-face training for facilitators to use the kit and their
awareness of the target theme,
A number of activity sheets allowing facilitators to offeractivities
dedicatedon the targeted theme, within the Ideas Box.
In addition, BSF has established a partnership with the Lebanese association Amel for access to information and education and the strengthening of social cohesion of host and displaced populations in Lebanon. In a changing context of economic and structural political crisis, BSF aims to strengthen the capacity of its partner Amel in offering innovative services in 3 of the centers operated by Amel.
BSF wishes to rely on the resources of kit n ° 4, relating to leadership andstrategies influencing, in order to make them applicable to the target audience within the framework of this new project and, more broadly, to all Ideas Boxes deployed as part of BSF’s operations in the Middle East.
