"SpeakUp" Series - Your input needed

Women Transforming Cities would like to invite you to be part of an exciting project! The Speak Up Series: Combining activism with public speaking skills. The series will be comprised of four sessions, each beginning with a local influential woman telling her story about how she found her voice followed by a Q&A. After this, you’ll have a chance to learn and practice a new speaking skill to improve your confidence when speaking to groups. The idea for this innovative series grew from the current political climate and the heightened level of activism that has not been seen by many in our lifetime. If you too have a thirst to express yourself about issues you are passionate about in a manner that will get your message across effectively, we would love for you to join us. Learn how to use an intersectional framework to speak about important issues to a variety of audiences… from your local city council to your racist high school friend on Facebook. We have many exciting ideas about how this will take shape, but we need your input! Cut and paste the survey below and email it to Elena by March 8th at estarr@my.adler.edu to have your say and… SpeakUp! ------------- Which audiences would you like to gain confidence talking to?

The work of WTC in Vancouver takes place on the stolen ancestral territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam Indian Band), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish Nation), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh Nation). We acknowledge the leadership of Indigenous peoples since time immemorial and seek to learn and unlearn our own colonial practices as we work in cities as sites of resistance.
