The Azadi Project conducted a six-month virtual storytelling program to train members of the Peace Track Initiative (PTI), a foundation that aims at localizing and feminizing the peace process through promoting inclusion and enhancing feminist knowledge leadership in the Middle East and North Africa with a focus on Yemen. Similar to the Cox’s Bazar program, this follows a ToT (Training of Trainers) model as well.
Twelve Yemeni migrant women leaders from PTI were trained in storytelling skills to build knowledge products and multimedia tools for advocacy. They in turn would conduct the training in their communities. Most importantly, the aim was to teach participants to use their stories as an advocacy tool to further women’s participation in the dialogue for the peace process.
