The Impact of Violence on Learning: 
Building Connections to Deepen Understanding

Co-Sponsors:  WE LEARN (Providence, RI), Spiral Community Resource Group (Toronto), The Bread and Roses Project (Toronto), and SABES (MA).

 The one-day seminar will bring together 60 practitioners and learners from Canada and the United States who have done tremendous work on this issue - to learn from and to inspire each other. If you are looking for an opportunity to deepen your understanding, strengthen your resolve, and find allies in making real changes in programming, then this one-day seminar is for you.

 Also:

This one-day seminar precedes a two-day conference (March 9-10, 2007) hosted by WE LEARN, a small organization based in New England. The theme for this year's annual women and literacy networking conference is, Threads of Experience: Creative Spaces for Women's Learning. If you are unable to attend the Pre-conference Seminar, or are just beginning to consider these issues in your program, the seminar participants will be making a presentation about their discussion during the conference. WE LEARN promotes women's literacy as a tool for personal growth and social change through networking, education, action and resource development. We hope you will also participate in the conference. NOTE: All practitioners will have to register on their own and pay the regular registration fees.  A conference flyer and registration form can be found at:  http://www.litwomen.org/conference.html
