Steps

As a mini exercise, participants are then given a riddle:

A man and his son are driving along Nyerere Road in a red car. The man who is driving is a doctor. They have a terrible accident and the son is badly injured. The doctor died. The son is rushed to the nearest hospital where he is taken to surgery. A doctor is called to attend to him. As he is lying there, the doctor takes one good look at him and says: “No, no, I can’t operate. He is my son," and walks out of the room.

After reading the riddle, the facilitator posed one question to the group: How can the injured boy be the doctor’s son?

Each participant then individually wrote down possible solutions to the riddle. Once finished, participants took turns sharing their proposed solution. The answer is that the doctor at the hospital is the boy’s mother.

Power Walk

During a Gender and Sexuality training in the West Balkans, those leading the pack were generally more privileged/elite, more senior and mostly men. Following the group discussed dynamics of power and inclusion. [Note: more information is needed on this exercise.]
