Our Approach

At HMV-WN we follow Feminist pedagogy in all our programs;

 

• Experience- women's experiences are made visible and form the most valid basis for learning- valued and validated

• Collaboration- collaborating and sharing are utilized to lead women to identify their common oppression and develop mutual support and collective strength in their struggle for change

• Authority- dismantle authoritarian relationships in the classroom and create a space our equal power relations.

 

Our small class sizes, 25 participants per program, ensure a safe and intimate learning environment. We use interactive, student-centered teaching methods to ensure that participants are fully engaged and for maximum learning outcomes. Each program activity is based on successful in-person capacity development activities that have been modified for effective online delivery. Participants are given interactive pre- and post-testing and reflection activities in order to effectively track their progress, both in regard to their increase in skills and their building of knowledge and confidence.
