GLOBAL STORIES OF CHANGE THAT CHANGE OUR GLOBAL STORY

This September join the Ontario Council for International Cooperation (OCIC) community for our Annual General Meeting (AGM) & Symposium 2022: ‘Global Stories of Change that Change Our Global Story’.
This year our AGM will be held virtually on September 22 and will include a formal business meeting with presentations on the governance, finance and operational aspects of our work over the past year, followed by presentations of key achievements and priorities ahead from three key Inter-Council Network (ICN) initiatives: the Fund for Innovation and Transformation (FIT) for small and medium-sized organizations (SMOs); the Spur Change knowledge sharing program for SMOs, educators and youth; and the ICN national research project on feminist, anti-racist and decolonial approaches to public engagement.
Our Symposium will be held in-person on September 27 – 28 on the traditional territory of the Huron Wendat and Petun First Nations, the Seneca, the Haudenosaunee, the Anishnaabe and the Mississaugas of the Credit River First Nation, at the Centre for Social Innovation – Spadina, in downtown Toronto. Recognizing the unique experiences and power that each of us carries to make positive and systemic change, this Symposium will be a space to learn from global stories of change told from diverse perspectives and with various innovative mediums and approaches, and to be inspired in your ongoing work to change our collective story for good.
Building upon sectoral and Council efforts to advance decolonized, anti-racist, community-led approaches and ‘localized’ leadership, action and innovation, these events will provide curated, facilitated opportunities for participants to make connections, build relationships, spotlight initiatives, and plan for the future together.
Don’t miss your opportunity to convene with inspiring thought leaders, practitioners, activists, creatives and influencers in all or a part of our program. Representatives from civil society organizations, including those from SMOs, grassroots and community-led initiatives, and youth are encouraged to join us.

Women and Water: On the frontline of climate change
2022-10-12 10:00 - 11:00 (America/Toronto) | Ontario
Climate change impacts us all – with the immediate effects most often felt through water insecurity. So why, we ask, is only 3% of climate finance dedicated to water-related adaptation? As 2030 fast approaches, the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) targets on water and sanitation are still distant hopes, and water insecurity is growing as the climate crisis becomes a reality for billions of people. As stewards of water, women and girls confront the impacts of climate change every day yet lack decision making power to influence climate finance commitments to water security. These impacts are deepening the devastating impact of widespread gender inequality in our changing climate. We ask our policy makers and leaders to prioritise investment in gender transformative water security at COP27 and to commit to the clear actions defined in this webinar.
The webinar will include statements and presentations to demonstrate water security evidence, WASH as a pathway for gender equality, and the essential element of gender responsive climate finance that includes investment in water, sanitation, and hygiene. Breakout groups will discuss 5 calls to action as we finalize a Joint Statement for endorsement in lead up to COP27. Please join the dialogue! Note the plenary session will have interpretation in French and English.

Women, Life, Freedom: Global Implications of the Women-Led Uprising in Iran
2022-11-01 08:00 - 10:00 (America/Toronto) | Virtual, Canada
The women’s uprising in Iran has captivated the world. The death of Mahsa Amini in government custody in September sparked protests all over Iran. What started out as a spontaneous women’s resistance has grown and evolved into a sustained cross-sectoral movement calling not only for reform of repressive policies in relation to women, but for structural changes in society.
Join us for an event addressing the situation in Iran and its global implications. We will have a panel discussion consisting of Iranian women who will offer an analysis of the uprising in Iran, followed by another panel of women active in the women’s movements across different regions who will discuss the global implications of this women-led uprising. The event will showcase how feminists from around the world are working together to build global solidarity in their advocacy for structural change. A dedicated conversation will be held with UN Women senior leadership as part of the event to discuss and present key feminist asks from the NGO CSWs in the Regions and other global women’s movements. Finally, we will discuss concrete steps for building global solidarity for feminist advocacy purposes.
This event is presented by the NGO CSWs in the Regions and sponsored by The New York Women’s Foundation and Iranian American Women’s Foundation, in partnership with UN Women.

The International Conference on Family Planning
2022-11-14 - 2022-11-17 | Ontario
Since the first ICFP in Kampala, Uganda in 2009, the International Conference on Family Planning (ICFP) has served as a strategic inflection point for the global reproductive health community, providing a global stage for countries, organizations, and individuals to make important commitments and celebrate achievements as the world’s largest scientific conference on family planning and reproductive health.
ICFP has become much more than a conference – it has grown into a platform for researchers, advocates, governments and communities; a movement towards achieving access to family planning for all; and a growing community guided by the spirit of partnership, inclusivity, innovation and scientific rigor.
As the larger family planning community looks “beyond 2020” to realign our goals and reposition for the future of family planning, ICFP 2022 will be a strategic benchmark as the community prepares to recommit to a goal of universal access by 2030.
