Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Empowerment is a term that has grown in use dramatically in community development and the business world in recent years. Until now, however, few books have actually detailed the processes that individuals and groups can use in order to behave and act in a more empowered way. This thought-provoking book demystifies power and challenges the narrow ways in which it has been described in the past. Empowerment is about choice and this well-researched book is packed with proven techniques and numerous exercises that will enable adult learners to analyze their past experiences, change accepted definitions of power and empowerment and develop strategies to address problems and projects in a more 'empowered' way. The author encourages facilitators, trainers and individuals to adopt and adapt the wide variety of tools included in this book-tools that include: card sorts; stories and myths; exercises to practise new skills; film analysis; and the author's personal experiences. The book also includes detailed case studies from a variety of settings (business, education, healthcare and social work) and a sample empowerment workshop framework, complete with instructions for workshop participants. The processes have been used to great effect in Europe, the USA, Canada and Australasia. They have also been very successfully applied within a number of different cultures including Abroiginal groups in Australia, Moslem women in Malaysia, cross-cultural groups in South Africa, Danish and Nepalese development workers in Kathmandu, and lecturers in Mongolia!

Download or read book Gender Identity Equity and Violence written by Geraldine B. Stahly and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-03 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors of the thirteen chapters in this volume bring excitement and innovations to teaching about gender from a wide range of theoretical and discipline perspectives. They exhibit the inclusiveness that is central to feminist pedagogy–a perspective that centers the educational enterprise in the analysis of the interconnectedness of social categories that have traditionally divided and given root to inequality and oppression and aims for no less than social transformation. Empowerment is a core value in gender education and the experiential approach nurtures that goal. This volume provides many examples of the power of learning through experience as the authors demonstrate that, “...the authority of the feminist teacher as intellectual and theorist finds expression in the goal of making students themselves theorists of their own lives by interrogating and analyzing their own experience.” (Weiler, 1991)To stimulate the adaptation of the approaches described in these books, each volume includes an Activity / Methodology table that summarizes key elements of each example, such as class size, pedagogy, and other disciplinary applications.

Download or read book Facilitating to Lead written by Ingrid Bens and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2006-09-18 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of all the skill sets that support the shift from a traditional management role to a more collaborative approach, none is more relevant than that of the role of the facilitator. The beliefs, behaviors, and practices of facilitation are precisely what all leaders need to acquire and put into action. In Facilitating to Lead! renowned facilitation expert Ingrid Bens applies her proven concepts of facilitation to the leadership role and demonstrates that facilitation is an effective work style, not merely a meeting technique. Throughout the book, Bens outlines the organizational and personal benefits of facilitative leadership and includes useful checklists to help leaders determine the situations when facilitative leadership is most appropriate to apply. Because empowerment is a core issue in the implementation of facilitative leadership, the book presents a four-level model that reframes empowerment from a vague concept to a concrete structuring tool.
