📖 Retour sur la restitution de la troisième revue transversale du F3E. ­ Il y a un mois, avec le soutien de l'AFD - Agence Française de Développement nous avons eu le plaisir de restituer notre troisième revue transversale portant sur les pratiques et démarches d’apprentissage des organisations autour du #Genre. Les participant-e-s ont pu entendre en avant-première les apprentissages issus de cette revue et ont aussi pu bénéficier des retours d’expériences du Secours Catholique-Caritas France ainsi que du Réseau International Formation Agricole et Rurale (FAR) autour de leurs démarches respectives d’études genre. En 2019, nous proposions pour la première fois un dispositif spécifique visant à promouvoir l’accompagnement et le cofinancement d’études genre. Notre volonté était de soutenir les démarches d’apprentissage et d’analyse de l’action de nos membres portant spécifiquement sur la façon dont l’approche genre pouvait être intégrée à, et faire l’objet de, démarches d’analyses de l’action. Depuis, ce sont près d’une vingtaine d’études genre qui ont été réalisées et qui ont fait l’objet d’un travail approfondi d’analyse. Plus d'informations sur notre site 👇
