When
12:00 AM October 18, 2009 - 12:00 AM October 25, 2009
Where
Jouvence, 1½ hours south of Montreal, in the rolling hills of Quebec’s Eastern Townships.
Are you somebody that gets fired up about issues? Do you want to understand what kind of impact you can have? Do you want to make a difference in your community and take action in your own life?
Why not join Girls Action and inspiring young women from across the country at the ELLE Project…?
What is the program?
For seven days, twenty young women from across the country get together to explore and address issues in their communities and in their lives… and then work on how to make change!
From spoken word and photography to leadership styles and influencing policy, the program offers nearly a dozen workshops by amazing women from all over Canada.
The entire program is presented in both French and English.
Intensive Four-Day Training
The first four days focus around activities, reflections and workshops that explore leadership and activism. We offer support as you build self-awareness of your own leadership qualities while encouraging confidence building and empowerment.
Through community leadership development, you will share knowledge and skills, build relationships with mentors and peers, and learn more about how to organize, create and evaluate your projects, talk to the media, incorporate creative ways to get your message out, and change policies to change your world!
National Network Retreat
During the last three days, ELLE Project participants will join the Girls Action Foundation’s National Network Retreat, where you will be doing skill-building workshops, intergenerational networking, project and knowledge sharing, and much more!
