The Department of Human Rights, Health and Cultural Diversity (Dihs/Ensp/Fiocruz) is open for registration for the Income Generation: Trans Empowerment course. Interested parties should fill in and send the completed pre-registration form to dihs@ensp.fiocruz.br by September 30th.
The course aims to promote reflection on issues relating to the citizenship and health of transsexuals and transvestites. From this perspective, the idea is to develop social entrepreneurship skills that can be applied to the development of work and income generation alternatives in vulnerable areas of Rio de Janeiro and its municipalities. There are 30 places on offer and the course lasts 32 hours.
Classes will be held on October 6, 13, 20, 27 and November 3, 10, 17 and 24 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in room 901 of the expansion building on the Fiocruz campus. A certificate will be awarded at the end of the course if the person has attended 75% of the classes. Also at the end of the course, participants will present a Social Entrepreneurship Project developed during the course in the form of a seminar.
