[WiLT] Feminist Webs Residential 26-28th September 2008 Merseyside

Feminist Webs Overview and Key Dates

Feminist Webs exists to re-invigorate young women and girls' work
within the youth work sector.

This year we launched a paper resource and website
(http://www.feministwebs.com) containing lots of resources, made by
young women and older women who were working together.

We are recruiting young women who are interested in 'young women and
girls work', and we will link them with older women who are experts in
youth work, girls work and feminism.

We will recruit a steering group of young women, who will guide the
project, as well as youth groups and young women who will participate
in the project as peer researcher groups. These groups and young women
must be based in the North West, and we are looking for groups which
reflect the diversity and geography of the North West.

We want the groups to work together using youth work methods so that
the young people can find out about the history of young women and
girl's work, especially from the 1970s-early 1990s. They will do this
through interviewing older feminists who were active in feminist youth
work. The young women will be trained in oral history methods so they
can collect and record the older women's stories as well as physical
archive materials from the older women. The young people will help
research existing archives; design the archive; collect the materials
and launch the archive.

26th-28th September: Feminist Webs Residential to introduce all groups
and all involved in programme and to do some basics to Feminism and
the how to for carrying out oral histories; then action planning next
steps for each group. (see attached)

6th December: Day event for general check in and update for all
groups.

6th-8th February: Final residential to pull everything together, meet
with Web designer to refine the site and to make final decisions on
the layout of physical archive space

In between times will be meetings of a young person's steering group
and a professional steering group.

Also meetings of the individual groups to do their interviews, plan
their themes, record their findings and scan in any resources they
have collected.

This project is supported by Young Roots, Part of the Heritage Lottery
Fund
