Engage! Women’s Empowerment & Active Citizenship

- the future of work
- participation in community governance
- women’s leadership and feminist approaches
- young women as entrepreneurs and agents of community change
- climate resilience and adaptation
- asset-based approaches to reducing urban and rural poverty through economic development
