Description:
This manual fosters media educators’ skills to further gender mainstreaming. It is grounded in the understanding that the media is both a conveyor of stereotypes and a force for change. Gender trainers should be interested in what the media is saying to the people whose minds and habits they seek to transform; in transforming the media itself; and understanding entry points for doing so. The manual provides 125 exercises and examples on media training, helping trainers understand how and where gender comes into each area. It is intended to be used by media trainers in Southern Africa at five levels – entry level (vocational); university; in-service; commercial; and NGO training.
