We invite you to join us on 1 June 2019 from 10:00 A.M. to 4:30 P.M.
For a full day pre-conference workshop on:

RECONCILIATION & ADULT LEARNING THROUGH NARRATIVE MÉTISSAGE
• Connect through storytelling
• Spark your creativity
• Learn a new method for learning, teaching, research, and community engagement
How do we begin to tell the story of Canada’s legacy of colonization in a way that opens dialogue and inspires action? Métissage offers one possibility.

Métissage is a creative method that interweaves personal stories, poetry, gestures, and images. It values both the individual and the collective and supports the complex and often messy unfolding of our shared human tapestry.
In this full-day workshop, participants will explore what reconciliation means in adult education contexts through the process of narrative métissage. We will describe the method, lead participants through a range of creative prompts and practices, create the space for sharing and hearing stories, engage in meaningful dialogue, and provide a list of take-home resources.

• Marcia Dawson (Gitxsan from the Dzawada’enuxw Nation)

An upcoming seminar will focus on the struggles experienced by women around the world, particularly refugees and women in failed and developing states, in gaining an education – and possible solutions to the barriers they must overcome. We will explore a global education agenda for women and girls from two different perspectives: the policy issues that attempt to remove barriers, and the experiences of young women from refugee contexts who have overcome the odds to pursue their education.

Prominent women with great expertise in the field of education and development in Canada and internationally will discuss the current policies of both Canada and the United Nations aimed at enhancing opportunities for women and girls within the framework of Canada’s Feminist International Assistance Policy and the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Responding to those policies will be young women ​from the Middle East and sub-Saharan Africa who are now pursuing their university education in Ottawa. They will tell their stories and describe the education challenges and opportunities facing displaced girls and women and those living in developing countries.

Participants will have ample opportunity to meet and talk with speakers during breaks, a reception, and small group discussions on the topics brought up in the formal presentations.

This two-part seminar is a partnership between the Canadian Federation of University Women of Ottawa (CFUW-Ottawa) https://cfuw-ottawa.org/ and World University Service of Canada (WUSC) https://wusc.ca/.

You are invited to participate in this exciting day to explore the challenges and solutions to education for women and girls around the world. This event is open to the public so please invite your friends to join you.

Venue: Jean Pigott Place, Ottawa City Hall
Time: 9:00 am – 4:00 p.m. including lunch, coffee breaks and a reception
Invited: CFUW members and the public
Speakers:

• Huguette Labelle is a former President of the Canadian International Development Agency and a former Chancellor of the University of Ottawa. She is a member of the Order of Canada, the Order of Ontario and recipient of several honorary degrees;
