GENDER & YOUTH MAINSTREAMING EVENT GUIDELINES

The Gender & Youth Mainstreaming Event Guidelines, published by Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL), provide a framework for energy organizations to plan and execute inclusive events. The tool offers specific actionable steps across pre-event planning, event execution, and post-event reporting to ensure gender parity and youth representation in the sustainable energy transition.

• The guidelines advocate for a comprehensive approach to pre-event planning that prioritizes diversity in the planning group and the selection of partners and sponsors committed to gender equality and youth inclusion. Key recommendations include ensuring gender parity among speakers and facilitators, scheduling events to accommodate social factors like care duties, and conducting early stakeholder consultations to understand experiences across different ages and genders.
• To avoid the marginalization of diversity topics, the document suggests integrating gender and youth perspectives into all session topics rather than treating them as isolated issues. For specific diversity sessions, it recommends placing them in prominent, central locations during the middle of the day to prevent male attendees from skipping them.
• The guidelines provide specific strategies for inclusive engagement during events, such as ensuring equal speaking time regardless of status and using targeted questioning. One specific tactic mentioned is that selecting a woman to ask the first question during a Q&A session may encourage other female attendees to participate.
• Post-event requirements focus on transparency and continuous improvement through the public reporting of gender parity achievements and the use of disaggregated data. The guidelines emphasize soliciting specific feedback from youth participants and amplifying diverse perspectives in follow-up communications and social media.
