Tiivistelmä
The aim of this product-based thesis is to produce a handbook of educational activities on the topic of hegemonic masculinity in sexual and gender-based violence. The idea comes from a training course held in Milan in 2019 named “I Act: Exploring masculinities” which was funded by the European Youth Foundation of the Youth Sector of the Council of Youth. For the development of the handbook, an intersectional feminist perspective has been used.
The working-life partner is Nuoret Kotkat, a child, youth and family organisation based in Finland and member of an international umbrella organisation called International Falcon Movement – Socialist Educational International. Nuoret Kotkat support children and youth to be co-operative, active and responsible citizens and its main activities are camps and clubs.
A handbook addressed to facilitators implementing activities with over 12 years old children was compiled. The handbook contains instructions of how to use it, activities related to the topic and theory to support the facilitators to implement the activities. Further, the handbook is a significant addition to the safety guide for youth leaders of Nuoret Kotkat on the theme of sexual harassment, violence and bullying.
The phases of the product have been planning, implementing and evaluating.
The development of the product covers the period from Summer 2019 to Summer 2020. The process includes workshops implemented with youth from the work life partner organisation to study the knowledge in the topic and assess the need for it. International Falcon Movement – Socialist Educational International is the provider of resources for developing the handbook.
The evaluation was based on the feedback of two workers of Nuoret Kotkat and one youth leader. It was stated the handbook is accessible, informative, suitable for the target group and the sensitivity of the topic is discussed. As result of the evaluation, it is recommended to test the activities with a group before publishing the handbook, to involve young people and youth in the designing process and organise a training on how to put the handbook in practice.
Keywords: Hegemonic masculinity, Sexual and gender-based violence, Intersectional feminism, Non-Formal education, Experiential Learning cycle, Bystander model of intervention
