 Free2b trainings enable the  relevant responses and strategies from communities, volunteers and facilitators necessary for girls to feel  their group is a safe space, where they can be themselves and will be there in the long term. Our trainings teach how to be respectful and sensitive to where girls and young women are at in their lives and take seriously their needs and realities.   
We train all staff and volunteers running our girls groups to be flexible, creative and adaptable facilitators – holding spaces that support freedom and safety  at the same time. Being able to accept and exist in  ‘organsised chaos’ ( Adriarna 15) is a Free2b facilitator’s most important attribute, and our trainings teach how to develop this ability in fun and engaging ways.

  • Shares how to establish a meaningful working relationship with Safeguarding Children, Duty of Care, Confidentiality Policies and Codes of Conduct making it easier to implement them when required. Using Free2b Girls policies as templates we draw upon stories and experiences to inspire interactive engagement with the content and help develop the confidence to use policies in real life situations. 


  • The Free2b Approach training shares how to engage with young people based on who they are rather than what adults want them to be. The training is tailored to attendees’ identified needs and concerns in the youth and community engagement space and is run in a way that values story sharing and collective input as the basis for developing realistic and relevant youth inclusion strategies. It offers an interactive experience that teaches adults and organisations in the youth and community sector how to effectively engage with young people and their communities in a way that is sincere, authentic and sensitive to the realities that exist on the ground. It is centred around creating and cherishing rapport, maintaining safety amongst freedom and educating the broader community about the ‘qualities’ rather than ‘deficiencies’ of youth in general. Many attitudinal and generational barriers are broken down during ‘The Free2b Approach’ training so that long term, authentic interaction can be sustained by communities and their young people.

    You’ll learn how to:

    • Be responsive to youth needs

    • Learn an ‘open space’ mind set.

    • See why ‘traction’ is a safety essential

    • Develop adaptable communication skills

    • And much much more..!

  • “Feels like I’ve got some rules for the game now”
