Learning through practice.
The Stepping Stones methodology promotes learning and self-reflection; this is a journey to move to a more protective and supportive environment for women and girls. The training at UNYPA utilizes Stepping Stones to address young people’s mental health and wellbeing. Young people take a short at building their personal trees of life. Exploring loss, death and Love in ways that build support and empathy among peers. The use of images to unpack and face difficult situations is one approach promoted by the Stepping Stones methodology.
One approach different context!
The
Stepping Stones methodology beautifully uses interactive and community
participatory exercises to engage different peer groups in understanding some
of the negative cultural practices
perpetuating violence against women and girls. Statues of power presented
by various peer groups in community have generated discussions on why violence
occurs, its effect on households and how
it should be tackled using locally contextualized action.
Fostering intergenerational dialogue breaking the cycle of violence against women and girls.
The stepping stones methodology promotes the use of peer dialogue to engage community members from different age groups and gender (Young men, older men, young women and older women) to tackle difficult and sensitive topics collectively. Stepping stones participatory and highly interactive exercises enable them to respectfully share their views and amicably understand the different age group’s experiences and points of view. They can then collectively address topics like sexuality, love, relationships in ways that build and strengthen the social nets for community members who are facing challenges. They are supported to cope with the negative effects of violence.
