Participatory Research on Education and Agency in Mali (PREAM) is a 3-year international collaboration between 香蕉视频 and the Universit茅 des Lettres et Sciences Humaines de Bamako (ULSHB) in partnership with Plan International Canada and Plan International Mali who are implementing a program around education in emergencies.
The research builds on a recognition that education inequalities for girls exist within, and are impacted by, wider gender inequalities in their communities. Changes to local beliefs and behaviours around gender have been shown to directly support girls鈥� participation in education, while increasing girls鈥� education can have a significant impact on gender equality in the broader school environment. However, the connection between gender inequality and girls鈥� education in conflict is unclear. Agency, defined as the power to make and act on choices, is considered an essential component of gender equality and women and girls鈥� empowerment. For this reason, PREAM aims to increase our understanding of this relationship and to generate valuable findings to inform policy and practice related to education and gender equality in conflict-affected settings in Mali and beyond.

Picturing Agency: Through the Eyes of Malian Youth, is an art book produced in conjunction with120 Malian students participating in the Participatory Research on Education and Agency in Mali (PREAM) project. This art book engages with the drawings and cellphilms produced by participants in the first series of participatory workshops that took place in six schools from six different communes. The research design emphasises a mixed-methods approach that integrates child-friendly participatory visual methods (PVM) workshops conducted in the first and third years of the project.
