À propos de ce projet
Communautés servies
Voici les objectifs de développement durable associés à mon projet
Les objectifs de développement durable de l’ONU
Il est possible de catégoriser les projets à impact communautaire selon les objectifs de développement durable de l’ONU. These are the Sustainable Development Goals associated with my project.
Le fonctionnement du projet
The timeframe runs from October to December. I will first pay the non-profit registration fees, buy the equipment, and rent a space. Then, planning the workshop content and marketing. We have already developed the promotional materials and a plan for how to reach community members.
Résumé de l'impact
This project is still in progress, but we hope to reach about 100 women that will attend more than one workshop.
Résumé de la mission
We aim to foster community and a sense of belonging for newcomer women whose isolation often puts them in vulnerable positions within society. We aim to have a "cohort" of 100 women where we can develop their skills and communities through variable workshops.
Équipe du projet
My team is made of two teachers, a social worker, a nurse, and a student, all of which are women immigrants who mostly initially had experiences with isolation and vulnerability.
