2019: The first edition of ACW Women's Empowerment Workshop took place. SAP and partners, UNESCO, Irish Aid, the Camden Education Trust (CET) and the Moroccan Ministry of National Education held the first pilot program in Rabat, and thanks to the generosity of the Department of Education in Morocco, the event successfully hosted 28 female teachers from 15 countries under one roof.
2020: Partners built on this success by creatively adapting the workshop to virtual, enabling French and English-speaking women from African countries the opportunity to share their experiences, learn new skills, and form a community of practice.
2021-22: Building on the success of the 2020 online rollout to scale impact across Africa.
Female teachers increase girls’ test scores as well as their likelihood of staying in school. Beyond academics, female teachers can also heighten girls’ aspirations, and lower their likelihood of being subject to violence. The program actively supports female teachers on their leadership and mentoring journey while providing a safe learning platform for them to explore current barriers to girls’ education. They also develop innovative ideas to overcome these barriers, honing a wide array of tools and skills along the way - from Design Thinking and storytelling all the way to animation and digital tools.
