Young Feminist Weekend NL

Van 18 t/m 20 oktober 2019 is de 1e Young Feminist Weekend NL (YFW). Een unieke mogelijkheid, waarin meiden (18-31 jr) die betrokken zijn bij mensenrechten en gender en zich hiervoor inzetten – onder begeleiding van ervaren facilitators – samenkomen om samen positieve veranderingen te realiseren in Nederland. Dit initiatief van de Nederlandse Vrouwen Raad is geïnspireerd op de succesvolle summerschools van de European Women’s Lobby (EWL). NL-deelneemsters aan de EWL summerschool 2018 zijn actief betrokken bij dit Nederlandse initiatief!

Information in both English and Dutch to reach out to as many as possible people: jonge vrouwen (18-31 jr) in NL, inclusief de LHBTIQ gemeenschap en minderheden!. Mogelijk is dit ook interessant voor mensen uit jouw netwerk. Daarom het verzoek dit bericht te verspreiden in jouw netwerk.

New! The first edition of NVR Young Feminist Weekend: an unique opportunity
On 18, 19 and 20th October 2019 we organize the first NVR Young Feminist Weekend in The Hague. We bring 30 young feminists together in the Netherlands to explore how we can create positive change as an intersectional feminist movement. We invite applications from young self-identified women aged between 18 and 31 who strongly believe in coming together and building connections with other young feminists, in order to create change together.

NVR Young Feminist Weekend is inspired by the successful summer camp for young feminists from Europe – over the past four years: AGORA.

Honestly life changing. I came back not only inspired, but with a new found sense of personal confidence, conviction in my feminist beliefs and self-belief itself in what I had to say and what I had to bring the world. I felt an enormous sense of solidarity too from the friends I made.”(AGORA 2017 alumna)
