What people are saying about Fabulous Feminists
Testimonials
For an entire week, we immersed ourselves in theoretical and practical tools to design and lead workshops and courses in a dynamic and participatory way. Learning by doing, validating experiences, and having a “safe-brave” space to co-create critical thinking among all the participants, allowed me to incorporate the fundamental princi- ples of feminist pedagogies. The course also opened the doors for me to expand my networks internationally.
Thanks to the facilitation of Lucy and all the participants, today I feel much more prepared and confident about being able to lead future courses and consultancies on gender and social inclusion.

Testimonials
BY DONNA-MARIE FRY
It was a privilege to be able to spend the week of this training not only taking time to critically reflect and discuss feminist pedagogical principles (FPP) with other enthusiastic and dedicated participants but also observe the in- structor, Dr. Lucy Ferguson, and my workshop colleagues implement these through practical activities in a safe, inclusive and constructive learning space. Lucy really lives and breathes these FPPs through every aspect of the workshop.
This training provided the space to answer many of my questions about FPPs, but has also left me asking even more questions about what this might look like in the projects I am working on, and how I am going to approach different consultancies prioritising these principles and values. I think that is a clear sign of an excellent training! I am really look forward to the follow up session!
