Tuseme is a student-centered empowerment model that uses theatre-for-development techniques to identify and address concerns that hinder girls’ social and academic development. Through Tuseme clubs, girls develop action plans to solve their problems, involving the support of peers, educators, parents and community members. Tuseme is a Swahili word meaning "let's speak out." Tuseme clubs are unique because they empower girls to express themselves and find solutions to their problems which do not negatively affect their education. Because club members secure the support of teachers, peers, family and community members in resolving issues, Tuseme helps bring about the meaningful transformation of gender relations. Finally, Tuseme is unique in that it uses a training of trainers approach to expand its clubs.  Tuseme clubs are created over a number of steps. FAWE/Sénégal first conducts a training in gender issues and Tuseme techniques for the school principal and two teachers, who will be the club’s leaders. Next, FAWE/Sénégal and the trained teachers explain the Tuseme process to the 30 girls and 20 boys who will make up the club. With the help of club leaders, girls discuss the gender issues they face and a dialogue is created among the students. The club then prepares its first theater production which addresses the gender issues identified and proposes possible solutions to resolve these issues. Family and community members are invited to the performance to sensitize them to girls’ problems at school and at home. After the performance, the Tuseme club creates a plan of action for how they will put into place their solutions. This plan of action is carried out with the help of education practitioners, family and community members. Club members are typically in their 5th year before the BAC and remain active for three years. At the end of the three years, the students train a new class of students in the 5th year to begin the Tuseme process. Through this replication model, Tuseme clubs can continue to reach as many students as possible.
