About the innovation

Fundación Genera

What we do?

We are a non-profit organization that promotes peoples' wellbeing and development by addressing gender and sexual diversity issues with educational communities. We provide tailor-made workshops to students from all ages, teachers, parents and directive boards from different educational institutions. We are currently developing an application that will allow educational communities to mainstream the gender perspective through the curriculum and daily practices, therefore, boosting our job on gender equality and human rights.

Why we do it?

Social constructions regarding sex, gender, sexual orientation, have negative impacts on children, men and women in Chile and Latin America. Schools and homes are the most important spaces of socialization, where these preconceived ideas are reproduced. This reality jeopardizes peoples' rights. Some evidence of this reality is the following: in Chile, in 2018 homophobic and transphobic denounces increased to a 45,7%, with 484 actions of hate. Throughout Latin America, women have less access to STEM careers, face salary inequalities and 75% of them receive pensions under the poverty line.

Analyze content accuracy ;)

If you are from Chile, there will not be any trouble, we already have excellent material to work in your local context! If you are from abroad, we will be very pleased to adapt our content, if needed. 

Comunidad Genera has highly potential of being scaled throughout Latin America as we share: similar challenges regarding gender equality, LGBTQIA+ rights, and quality education; the language; similar educational structure; traditional notions regarding sex, gender and sexual orientation. Our videos can be used by any member of any educational community across the region, except by Brazil where subtitles in Portuguese are required. 

Train your educational community!

Throughout our previous meetings, we will have already developed workshops about gender equality and the LGBTQIA+ community's rights that can be implemented by you, a Genera Ambassador, or by our professional staff. Your educational community will be also trained in how to use Comunidad Genera effectively. 

Implement the Comunidad Genera App :)

Now that your educational community is trained in how to use the application and about the main concepts regarding gender equality and the LGBTQIA+ community's rights, it is time for you and us to give access to Comunidad Genera to your whole educational community. We just need a list of the names and e-mails of the people that are part of your institution (students, parents, teachers, principals and staff) to create a username and password for each one of them. 

Measure Impact

We can monitor and measure impact through the Comunidad Genera application. We can check if people are watching the videos, how they rank them, if teachers are sending tasks and challenges to parents and students that promote gender equality and the LGBTQIA+ community's rights, among other indicators. 

Great job! Let's keep communicating by e-mail to exchange feedback about your community's progress ;)
