🌱✨ Training Programme for Youth Agroecology Facilitator

Training closing on 20-22 November 2025, we organized a three-day "Public awareness campaign on the impacts of pesticides and benefits of agroecology at the local and national level" training programme with 30 young women from 20 villages to strengthen their understanding of agroecology, leadership, and the impacts of chemical pesticides on health and the environment. 👭 The day started with an interactive ice-breaking activity where participants got to know each other’s background, likes, and interests—creating a warm and friendly learning space. 👩‍⚖ In the leadership session facilitated by Amanna Jahan Bhiva, participants explored: • What effective leadership means • Key qualities of a good leader • Behaviours to avoid as a leader They later prepared and presented their ideas confidently in groups. 🌿 The agroecology session led by Khansa Rahman covered: • Basics and importance of agroecology • Harmful effects of chemical pesticides • Benefits of organic and biological alternatives Participants asked thoughtful questions and presented their reflections in teams. 🏅 After lunch, 8 participants were selected as Best Leaders based on engagement, communication, and leadership potential. 🤝 A follow-up discussion was held with them to provide guidance for upcoming community-level awareness activities. 💚 The strong participation, curiosity, and leadership shown throughout the event highlight the promising role of young women in promoting agroecology at both local and national levels. #Agroecology #YouthLeadership #WomenEmpowerment #SustainableFarming 🌾✨
