The project is called "No Más Acoso en Forma de Piropo...Campaña Contra el Acoso Sexual!"
These are the activities we have planned:
November 8th:
Day-long workshop with the group Colectivo de Zanquistas (stilt walkers that perform in parades, but they also do workshops for kids). Felix and Flor, social workers/artists/siblings, facilitated the workshop, which consisted of fun icebreakers to get the kids energized and comfortable with each other, group discussions about verbal harassment, role playing, games, and a yummy lunch cooked by the moms.
(I'll write a separate blog post about this workshop with more details and photos)
November 12th:
Recording of Radio Vignette
We wrote a short 30 second show that involves a dialogue between five kids talking about street harassment, which we will be aired several times a day over the course of a month on the radio station "Cariñoso"
November 14th & 15th:
I will be making a presentation to university students of UNAN in León and Somoto about our project. These are students of Ingrid studying social work, who are interested in supporting our project.
November 16th:
Short workshop planned by Ingrid, Gabriela and I. We will discuss with the kids ideas such as machismo, sexism, violence, gender, and social equality.
November 18th:
We will be participating in a march called "No Más Violencia Hacia Las Mujeres", of el Grupo Feminista de León.
November 23:
Another short workshop, where we will discuss gender more in-depth.
November 28th:
Paint banners and prepare for tomorrow! The banners will have phrases that the kids wrote during the workshops.
November 29th:
Intervención por las Calles de Sutiaba
This is the march we planned with las Zanquistas, which will start at el Parque Sutiaba and proceed throughout the neighborhood. It's going to be lively and fun, with stilt walkers, music, banners, and dancing. We will also be hanging out papers with information about street harassment, and talking to people in the crowd about this topic.
We have a busy month ahead of us! I'm so excited.
