Project Goals
Goal
The overall goal of the Women's Mentorship Project is to increase women's economic equality by providing women with knowledge, skills and strategies they need in order to promote changes in their own lives and in their communities.
Objectives
The objectives of the project are:
- To develop and implement educational workshops to facilitate women's awareness of their ability to influence economic policy to promote women's economic equality
- To identify, train and support mentors from among workshop participants who will continue to work towards the first objective of the project through delivering workshops and/or forming campaigns or coalitions in their communities.
 Description
The Women's Mentorship Project promotes women's economic equality by giving workshops to women throughout Manitoba, and mentoring women from among workshop participants to provide leadership in their own communities amongst women working for economic equality.
In the first phase of the project we will deliver workshop throughout Manitoba, using a popular education model. Our workshops engage participants through the use of role plays, discussions, and case studies. Our workshops provide participants with opportunities to learn from each other, find the patterns in women's common experiences, and draw strength from the work women are doing.
In the second phase of the project, we will provide interested women identified in the first phase with mentorship opportunities to learn how to promote women's economic equality, and will assist them in acquiring tangible organizational, public speaking, and facilitation skills. The mentees will continue to work in their communities, giving workshops to other women and/or participating in the formation of campaigns or coalitions. |
