Wichtige Aktivitäten & Lernen
Social Media Content Analysis and Reel Development
At the start of the project, the partners conducted a social media content analysis, during which several posts that portray how young women used social media to voice their concerns and opinions were collected. This was followed by the development of reels and one transnational roundtable with representatives of the target group.
Co-Creation Process for Toolkit Development
The #WeCoLead toolkit explores the role that informal and non-formal education can play to provide tools for young women to act as leaders and changing forces in their communities towards sustainability, equality, and inclusivity. The toolkit is the result of a co-creation process conducted with young women and youth workers.
Local Workshops and Surveys
The toolkit is the result of a co-creation process conducted with young women and youth workers. The result of this process is described on the harvest analysis from workshops and surveys implemented at the local level in each of the partner countries.

Inspired by the Civil Society Toolbox’s structure and methodology, the #WeCoLead Toolkit is divided in 3 different parts, steps which aim to empower all young women, civil society representatives, stakeholders and youth workers on how to support female leadership in environmental sustainability matters. The Toolkit is based on the core idea that, as result of our research in the partner countries, female leadership and empowerment are intertwined processes that take place gradually and can be supported on different levels: 1) the individual level, 2) in small organizations or informal groups, and finally 3) at the structural and organizational level in established organizations.
Accordingly, the toolkit is divided in 3 parts:
- Reflective methods for female leadership in environmental action
- Lab on women empowerment for sustainable communities
- Path of the rain dance – working on joint projects for collective advocacy
Check out the 3 parts of the toolkit below and feel free to use them and adapt them to your own needs and interests. WE CREATED IT FOR YOU!
