A challenge of our times is how to engage people in critical discussions when the world is moving soooo fast. During the month of March, many women & men around the globe take stalk of the gains women have made in the personal and professional sphere. Over the course of the month, it is with great pleasure that I have engaged young women at Loretto College (www.tcdsb.org/schools/LorettoCollege.asp), professional women at L'Association des femmes d'affaires francophones de Toronto (http://www.afafcanada.com/) and ethnocultural communities at the Intercultural Dialogue Institute (http://www.interculturaldialog.com/), all in the hopes of breaking down barriers and having frank discussions. I wish International Women's celebration could last longer than a month! Full details of each event are outlined on the websites listed above.
