Host a Newcomer On the Move
workshop- Deadline passed Application Deadline: September 30, 2011
Newcomer On the Move workshops are interactive, issue-based
sessions that provide an overview of the project, share
best practices, and provide “how-to” tips
to increase the participation of newcomer girls and
young women (those living in Canada for five years or
less). Appropriate for everyone from practitioners to
policy makers, the workshops also provide an opportunity
for participants to network and discuss collaboration
and local action to make a difference in the lives of
newcomer girls and young women in their community. Information
and resources on CAAWS’ other initiatives are
provided as needed.
CAAWS is currently accepting applications from interested
communities. Deadline passed
