Ninth exchange meeting of the Berlin CHANGE agents

On October 12th 2017 the CHANGE agents of the CHANGE plus project met for their ninth exchange meeting. The meeting was used to reflect recent activities, to discuss the project and to consider how to proceed with the team CHANGE.

In the meantime, all CHANGE agents who were trained by TDF as multipliers in the fight against female genital mutilation last year have carried out their activities within their communities and thus passed on the topic to many people. With many conversations and fruitful discussions the CHANGE agents were able to initiate a rethink in their communities.

The last milestones of the CHANGE Plus project are the CHANGE Plus Final Conference - "Protecting Girls - Together Against Female Genital Mutilation" on 23th November 2017 and a Public Certification Event for the CHANGE agents on 9th December 2017.

We would like to thank the CHANGE team once again for their commitment and dedication and we are looking forward to further cooperation!
