Empowering Change-Makers: ESDO SEEDS Dialogue Center Animators Complete 3-Day Refresher Training

Our adolescents are the greatest agents of change in society when it comes to sensitive issues like child marriage, drug abuse, dowry practices, and eve-teasing. The Dialogue Centers run under the ESDO SEEDS project are constantly working towards this goal.
To ensure the regular and effective conduct of sessions at the dialogue centers, the center’s animators were given a 5-day basic training at the beginning of this year. Seven months have passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, to share field experience, tackle new challenges, and further develop their own skills and abilities, a three-day residential refresher training was organized.
Key aspects of the training:
1) Discussing strategies to make sessions more engaging, clear, and participatory.
2) Open discussion on the successes achieved in their respective clubs over the past 7 months, the obstacles faced, and the strategies used to overcome them.
3) Determining ways to take stricter and more effective measures to prevent child marriage, build a drug-free society, eradicate dowry, and prevent catcalling.
4) The mutual relationships, leadership qualities, and team spirit among the animators have been further strengthened.
At the end of the three-day residential refresher training, the animators became more self-confident and aware. We believe that through these animators, the light of social change and awareness will spread further in their respective areas.
Let the journey of dreams continue, and may social darkness be dispelled.
