Our 153 #MemberOrganisations around the world can share their stories at: https://lnkd.in/eYVsbUwz World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts #WAGGGSImpact #GirlGuiding #GirlScouting #YouthParticipation

Last month, our team travelled to #Kuwait to deliver a week-long Regional Expert Facilitators training on our #FreeBeingMe (FBM) and #SurfSmart programmes. 🌍This was a fantastic opportunity to bring together #GirlGuiding and #GirlScouting participants from #Algeria, #Egypt, #Jordan, #Kuwait, #Lebanon, #Libya, #Mauritania, #Oman, #Syria, #Tunisia, #UAE, and #Yemen. ➡The #FBM sessions gave participants strategies for building body confidence and self-esteem among young girls. They explored the dynamic #FBM curriculum through interactive workshops that emphasised self-acceptance and peer support. ➡The #SurfSmart sessions focused on ways in which we can create a safe and inclusive internet for young people. From sharing advanced techniques for effective online browsing, to strategies to avoid digital risks, the participants were empowered to guide young people towards responsible digital habits and a safer online experience. By developing the skills and capacity of each participant we give them the expertise and confidence to deliver, lead, and strengthen both programmes in their own region - reaching even more girls and young women! We are grateful to our host, the #KuwaitGirlGuidesAssociation and the #WAGGGSArabRegionalCommittee for the overwhelming support and generosity to make this event happen🙏🎉 World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts Dove Gen Norton #WAGGGSImpact #FBM #BodyConfidence #ArabRegionWAGGGS #SurfSmart #DigitalLiteracy #SafeBrowsing #GirlScouting #GirlGuiding

From 18th to 23rd August, the Sri Lanka Girl Guides Association (#SLGGA) held their international camp #Ceylona2024, in Kurunegala. A global adventure filled with learning, fun, and unforgettable experiences! 2,000 #GirlGuides from across all nine provinces of Sri Lanka took part, alongside 200 amazing adult volunteer leaders. The camp was a truly international gathering with 500 participants also coming from nine other countries to join in the fun #Bangladesh, #Cambodia, #India, #Maldives, #Malaysia, #Oman, #Pakistan, #Singapore, and #SouthAfrica. The camp also welcomed 3,000 younger girls from #SLGGA as day pass visitors - giving them a taste of the opportunities to come as they get older, as well as several members of the #WAGGGS Asia Pacific Regional Committee. The #WAGGGS village provided activities from some of our #GlobalProgrammes on #STEM, #OnlineSafety, #SelfEsteem, #Nutrition, #Climate, #GenderBasedViolence and many more!

📢📽Glimpses from the 'Training of Trainers' on Youth-Led Action on Climate Change (#YLACC) programme for the Bharat Scouts and Guides - the first step to 100,000 young people across India learning about #climatechange, how it's affecting them and what they can do about it. The training was packed with fun activities and interactive sessions focused on underlining the urgency to take #climateaction and support those who are disproportionately impacted by it. With the help of a brilliant curriculum written by Elsa Cardona, participants from India were joined by delegates from Sri Lanka, Nepal and Maldives to spread the impact even more widely. The group took part in real life scenarios in a fun manner to collaboratively find solutions to some of the most pressing climate questions of our times. With around 60,000 girls and young women having already taken part in our Girl-Led Action on Climate Change (#GLACC) programme, we can’t wait to see how young people make this programme theirs by taking on climate action in the next few years. #WAGGGSImpact #youth #youthledsolutions #leadership #nonformaleducation

Great to see participants from our Youth Exchange South to South (#YESS) programme featured in the Kenya edition of the Daily Nation! The YESS Girls’ Movement is WAGGGS’ international exchange programme for young women aged 18-35 years and is delivered in partnership with the Norwegian Agency for Exchange Cooperation (Norec). This year 60 participants representing 12 different countries took part, and have recently returned home after their six month exchange. Five young women from #Madagascar, #Burundi, #Nepal, #Zambia and #Malawi spent a rewarding exchange in #Kenya. Core to the programme is giving young women the opportunity to confidently lead, raise their voices and make a difference on issues such as #GirlsinSTEM and #MenstrualHealthandHygiene education.
