Ensure the seminars are inclusive, promote gender equity, and address both educational and psychosocial aspects of menstruation, in a culturally appropriate manner.
• Use experiential and interactive learning methodologies to encourage active participation and peer education, empowering menstruating children and adolescents to lead discussions and share their experiences, while respecting community norms and sensitivities.
• Adapt educational content, tools, and methodologies to meet the specific needs, cultural context, and lived realities of Roma communities, as well as the needs of different target groups (children, adolescents, parents/guardians), while maintaining alignment with the project’s overall objectives.
• Coordinate and maintain communication with Roma communities and key community members to organize, schedule, and facilitate the implementation of awareness seminars and workshops.
• Support the distribution of menstrual hygiene products (including sanitary pads) to participants at the end of the seminars, ensuring respectful, organized, and appropriate delivery in line with the project’s objectives.
• Monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the awareness seminars and trainings, collecting feedback from participants and community members to inform ongoing project improvements and impact studies, in collaboration with Monitoring & Evaluation staff.
• Provide continuous support and feedback to team members and contribute to high-quality service delivery throughout the project’s implementation.
• Maintain strong relationships with other facilitators, project staff, and community stakeholders, fostering trust, collaboration, and the overall success of the project within Roma communities.
