SUMMARY:YOUTH LED: Feminism after reading 3 articles on feminism
DESCRIPTION:The presentation will start off with attendees introducing themselves and stating their opinions on feminism\, followed by a brief introductory speech on the origins\, importance\, and historical results of feminism. A discussion will then follow between the attendees and myself\, in which participants will be able to voice their opinions about issues such as patriarchal oppression\, misogyny & misandry\, the normalization of sexual harassment in the Middle East\, and laws and legislation protective of women’s rights. Following the discussion\, I will be presenting the works of Egyptian feminist writer and activist\, Nawal El-Saadawi\, sharing some of her most notable work fighting gender oppression in the Middle East. I will use her work to highlight the differences between Western and Eastern feminism\, and a poll will be taken within the committee to find out which ideals are more popularly supported: Liberal or Conservative.\nFor the last discussion point of the workshop\, I will be sharing stories of victims of gender related hate crimes and the governmental actions taken against them. During the last portion of the presentation a google form will be shared with the committee to give attendees the chance to make comments\, observations\, voice their opinions and ask questions in regards to feminism\, which will be shared on my screen to open a last discussion between the participants. The various discussion times throughout the presentation are aimed at presenting the participants with new information between each discussion to help them form more informed and articulate opinions\, and encourage more fruitful debates which will help enlighten us to new perspectives and encourage us to open our minds and selves to social progression.

SUMMARY:YOUTH LED: Healthcare: Politics or a Service:
DESCRIPTION:Covid 19. A pandemic that has affected us all and revealed the true colours of the Healthcare industry. From Donald Trump’s constant denial of the virus and his Warp Speed Operation to deliver the vaccines\, to the blatant claims that China was responsible. This workshop brings to light many present-day issues such as the unequal distribution of vaccines and the mistreatment of healthcare workers who risk their lives every day. For example\, The US and the UK were some of the first to get the vaccines partly due to their leaders in government\, however\, LEDs and MEDs such as India struggled to cope with their surge of cases and lack of vaccines. Another common occurrence is the monopoly at play in the insurance industry as for example in 2020 alone\, the average cost for health insurance was $456 for a person in the US. So is this just the new normal or a dismal failure by the leaders of these countries? And does our health and wellbeing now solely depend on the type of political leaders in office? The participants will also have the chance to look at and learn from the different leadership styles of global leaders such as Donald Trump and Joe Biden and their different approaches towards handling the Covid situation in the US. To end our workshop\, we intend on having our participants come up with alternative and constructive methods in which they would combat the issues at hand.

SUMMARY:Ending Period Poverty with Cups for Change

And yet\, the heavy stigma and painful taboos around menstruation are still causing barriers to understanding for both women and men. This workshop will explore Gender inequality\, extreme poverty\, humanitarian crises and harmful traditions that create a never ending cycle of misery\, and how Youth can engage in advocacy\, giving voice to the voiceless\, and put an end to the stigma\, the violence and period poverty

SUMMARY:YOUTH LED: Fake News\, Lies\, and Propaganda: Identifying Fallacies and Disinformation in a chaotic world
DESCRIPTION:False news and lies have always been part of media history. And today\, it is more prominent than ever. From satirical stories to false contextualization and from manipulated headlines to fabricated content\, fake news is everywhere. Lies travel with frightening speed on the internet\, random claims spark angry backlashes\, and disinformation is commonplace. In such a chaotic world\, it is important to have media literacy – identifying fake news and fallacies in journalism becomes an essential skill to survive. This workshop will throw light on the outreach of mass media\, the role it plays in shaping public opinion\, the impacts fake news can have\, the psychological and practical reasons it spreads quickly\, what we can do to combat its spread\, and more. There will be several audience engagement activities\, including a word cloud activity\, some GK-based questions\, reflection and opinion-based discussion\, analysis of fake news articles\, audience polls\, etc. This session will hopefully make the audience more aware and careful in the current information environment.

SUMMARY:YOUTH LED: The Hidden Dangers of Implicit Bias
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop\, you will learn all about implicit bias\, a common but often discussed issue. Implicit bias\, also known as subconscious bias\, affects the way we think\, speak\, and behave all without us realizing. It is a hidden danger that influences the workforce\, education\, healthcare\, and all aspects of life. First\, you will learn the nuances of implicit bias\, how it forms and how upbringing\, experiences and how people are portrayed – in real life and online – leads to the development of harmful biases. Then\, we will discuss the impacts of implicit bias\, including examples and important events from the real world. The final part of the workshop will focus on stereotype threat and minimizing our own personal implicit biases.
