Gender-Based Violence (GBV) is not just a social issue, it’s a systemic challenge that undermines agricultural value chains.
In rural and isolated areas, GBV threatens women’s safety, limits their economic participation, and weakens food security. When women cannot work safely, entire communities lose resilience, and businesses lose productivity. Climate resilience strategies that overlook gendered risks leave communities exposed and women vulnerable.
Ending GBV is essential for building equitable, sustainable, and climate-resilient agri-food systems; and it’s not only a human rights imperative, but also central to climate adaptation and economic stability.
The good news? Solutions work. Programs like the Women’s Safety Accelerator Fund (WSAF) demonstrate that addressing GBV can enhance productivity and strengthen workforce morale and brand reputation. Safe, inclusive workplaces aren’t just good ethics, they’re smart business.

The Constellations Blended Learning Course consists of 7 online modules that take students step by step through the Community Life Competence Process. You will learn to understand SALT in all spheres of life and apply it in your own context.
We call the course ‘blended’ as it blends individual studying, real practice and reflection with peers.

It is practical and inclusive and there will be participatory interaction with a community you choose to work with.
The course offers an opportunity to:

- Share your local challenges with others and get advice on to how to transfer to different communities and issues.
- Deepen your learning and improve your performance and skills as a facilitator.
- Have a firsthand experience of applying the approach in your own context
Learning Teams
Peer learning and reflection is an essential element of the learning process. You will follow the course with a small group of students (3-5) who may be in your own geographical area, or in a different country. An experienced Constellation Coach will accompany the learning teams during Skype conversations in your own preferred language (French, English, Spanish).
What is expected from me?
At an opportunity cost of one hour per week over three months you can develop competence in coaching communities to make the best use of their strengths, taking ownership and responsibility to achieve the dream or vision.
Participation course fee is 450 Euro for individual participants or 1500 Euro for teams from one organisation.

The first round of learning teams, in English, French and Spanish will start on January 20, 2015 for three months.
