Abstract
The community dialogues are a powerful tool designed to facilitate a series of reflections and discussions, with the ultimate goal of transforming individuals. When used in conjunction with the Transforming Masculinities approach, this tool will be most effective. The discussion themes are tailored to both women's and men's groups, with the expectation that they will come together for a joint reflection in Week 6. The themes are carefully crafted to prompt personal reflection and deepen understanding of the topics, incorporating the knowledge and expertise of the Gender Champions (facilitators) who will lead the discussions.
The sessions are designed to be practical and action-oriented, with participants receiving personal and relational reflections to take home and reflect on during the week. This approach encourages participants to reflect at length, fostering a sense of accountability and creating a strong bond within their groups. By doing so, it ensures that the dialogues are a safe and transformative space, where individuals can share their thoughts and experiences openly.
