SUMMARY:#RaiseYourHand: Take action against the largest education disruption in history
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this webinar to learn (or re-learn!) how you can effectively use digital advocacy to #RaiseYourHand for education. \nCOVID-19 has created the largest education disruption in history\, with the number of out-of-school children growing substantially for the first time in decades. The urgency to act on education has never been greater. \nThe pandemic has further exacerbated and entrenched already existing inequalities in access to education. In particular\, children and youth living in humanitarian emergencies are forced out of school without a guarantee that they will ever go back\, causing devastating impact on a myriad of different elements of their life – including their future earning potential. \nFeatured speakers:\n-Laura Kelly\, Communications Coordinator at Results Canada\n-Taryn Russell\, Head of Advocacy at Save the Children Canada\n-Tineka Levy\, Humanitarian Advisor at Save the Children Canada \nHere is what you can expect to learn:\n-The barriers that children and youth living in humanitarian emergencies face when accessing education\n-What can be done to alleviate those barriers and narrow inequalities\n-How social media is an effective and impactful tool for digital advocacy\n-Tips for using social media to amplify issues you care about. \nThere will be time to interact with other participants\, plus a question and answer period to wrap it all up. We hope you will leave feeling motivated to #RaiseYourHand for education. \n*Disclaimer: This 1 hour webinar is in English only. Recording will be available in English.\n————\nThis webinar is part of Results Canada’s interactive series of webinars organized throughout the year that will equip you with the skills to be an active advocate for eradicating poverty worldwide. Whether you’re new to advocacy or a seasoned volunteer\, you will benefit from topics following two broad streams: skills expansion and issues knowledge. \nRegister today! \n

SUMMARY:Youth Health Policy Lab
DESCRIPTION:Do you want to respond to and design policy structures for public health advocacy for BIPOC women\, non-binary\, and gender diverse persons?\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\nDo you want to respond to and design policy structures for public health advocacy for BIPOC women\, non-binary\, and gender diverse persons? \n  \nAs Youth Policy Advocates from the Ontario Council for International Cooperation’s (OCIC) Youth Policy Maker’s Hub (YPH)\, we are working to create a space in which youth can address Canadian acute healthcare and public health challenges faced by BIPOC women\, non-binary and gender diverse individuals. Our focus is on challenges arising from or exacerbated by COVID-19. \nTo tackle pressing issues\, we will be hosting a Policy Lab for youth (18 – 35 years) to gather young and diverse thinkers who can enrich mainstream policy discussions with innovative ideas and a key youth perspective. This Policy Lab has been designed for active participation and discussion on four focal areas which includes: (1) rise in mental health issues; (2) racism in healthcare and healthcare delivery; (3) technology and disaggregated data in healthcare; and (4) sexual health and reproductive justice. \nEvent Agenda: \n\nA panel discussion featuring key thinkers and experts working within the healthcare field and actively advocating for or thinking about the intersection of BIPOC women and health.\nA debrief session to digest information and prepare for the lab.\nBreakout\, facilitated sessions to explore one of the four topics and inform policy.\nHealth moves beyond the healthcare sector and is influenced by where we live\, who we are\, and how we navigate the world. This is why your voice is needed to help us identify the complex landscape for women’s health in Canada and appropriately reflect it in policy design.\n\nAreas of Focus \n\nRise in mental health issues: The topic explores the disproportionate impact COVID-19 has had on the mental health of BIPOC women\, non-binary individuals and gender diverse individuals. It unpacks the underlying\, systemic factors (e.g. racism\, fragmented systems\, etc.) and triggers (e.g. increased burnout\, rise in gender-based violence\, etc.) that have contributed to this phenomenon.\nRacism in healthcare and healthcare delivery: The topic explores experiences of BIPOC women\, non-binary individuals and gender diverse individuals when navigating and accessing healthcare services. It unpacks the underlying\, systemic factors (e.g. racism\, etc.) and gaps in the system (e.g. lack of culturally competent care\, etc.) that have contributed to this phenomenon during COVID-19.\nTechnology and disaggregated data in public health and healthcare: The topic explores the role technology and data are playing in the healthcare experience of BIPOC women\, non-binary individuals and gender diverse individuals. It unpacks the impact of these two tools on this population\, during COVID-19\, by dissecting design\, mobilization and implementation.\nSexual health and reproductive justice: The topic explores sexual health and reproductive justice issues for BIPOC women\, non-binary individuals and gender diverse individuals. It unpacks the underlying\, systemic factors (e.g. racism\, sexism\, etc.) and the experience of coloured bodies to better understand and uncover differential experiences of this population.\n\nJoin us to learn more and take part in this youth-led initaitive! \n  \nAbout the Youth Policy-Makers Hub \nThe Youth Policy-Makers Hub (YPH) is a signature initiative of OCIC’s Community Engagement and Learning programs. The YPH is an multi-generational initiative that will engage diverse youth from across Ontario in international cooperation policy processes in support of Gender Equality\, Canada’s Feminist International Assistance Policy (FIAP) action areas\, and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). \nGlobal problems like gender inequality and climate change affect people of all ages everywhere. These complex problems require holistic inter-generational approaches\, diverse mindsets\, multi-disciplinary methods and multi-sectoral dialogue. OCIC recognizes the wealth of knowledge\, experience and leadership that youth leaders bring to the international cooperation sector in Ontario and beyond. We want to help enable the active participation of youth at local\, national and international policy-making tables to inform decisions that concern their lives\, future and the planet. \n\nRegister here!

SUMMARY:Addressing real needs: the role of implementation research in designing and operationalizing adolescent nutrition programs
DESCRIPTION:Adolescence marks a period of rapid growth with high nutritional needs. Good nutrition can fuel optimal physical and mental growth\, giving adolescents the strength and focus to study\, work and fully participate in their communities. Iron deficiency anaemia is the number one cause of lost disability-adjusted life years in adolescent girls (10–19 yrs) and boys (10–14 yrs) globally\, but until recently little attention and limited resources have been directed towards reducing anaemia and improving adolescent nutrition among at-risk populations. \nDon’t miss this opportunity to hear about Nutrition International’s experiences and lessons learned working with global partners to implement innovative ideas to improve adolescent health and nutrition in Asia and Africa. \nThree guest speakers will highlight the critical role of implementation research in designing adolescent nutrition programs by sharing: \n\nhow adolescent girl’s perspectives can shape the design of nutrition integration\nlessons learned from an adolescent nutrition program co-designed and implemented by girls\nhow to translate adolescent nutrition global guidance to program actions and policies\n\nFollowing the presentations attendees will have an opportunity to pose their questions during an open discussion period. \nClick here to register!https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/1330317125301213710 \nThis webinar is FREE thanks to the generous support of Nutrition International. \nSign up today to save your spot! You will receive a confirmation email that contains detailed information about how to join the webinar. \nWe hope you can join us live\, but if you are unable to attend\, a recording will be made available on the SISN website after the live event. \nPlease forward this e-mail to anyone who may be interested in implementation science and engaging in these timely and important discussions. \nFor more information\, contact SISN at info@implementnutrition.org.

Period poverty\, taboos and stigma and lack of adequate sanitation infrastructure are just a few examples of how menstrual inequity undermines the health\, rights and wellbeing of individuals across Canada. \nIn the lead-up to Menstrual Hygiene Day\, join the Equal Futures Network on May 14\, in our inaugural Incubator session where we unpack these inequities with organizations from across Canada to brainstorm ideas\, share challenges and forge a way to move forward.  In partnership\, we can eliminate industry silos and regional disconnect to create a collaborative and unified collective working to advance equality in menstrual health and hygiene management across Canada.

SUMMARY:IATI Virtual Community Exchange
DESCRIPTION:This IATI ‘Virtual Community Exchange’ (VCE) is the first of two online events taking place in 2021 to bring together the global IATI community. The VCEs will be informal\, interactive and community-driven\, focusing on providing opportunities for shared learning based on practical experiences in engaging with IATI data. \nJoin IATI’s first VCE on 13 April to help us consider IATI’s progress vis-à-vis the current state of transparency and open data in the era of the Sustainable Development Goals. During the VCE\, you will hear about recent and upcoming IATI activities and how you can participate\, be inspired during sessions led by other members of the IATI community and engage with peers in the open data and transparency space. A second VCE to be held in late 2021 will provide additional opportunity for more technically-focused sessions and will showcase even more content from you as members of the IATI community! \nWho can attend the Virtual Community Exchange? How can I register? \nThe Virtual Community Exchange is open to anyone with an interest in transparency\, open data or IATI generally. We expect participation from a broad range of stakeholders\, including from governments\, civil society\, the private sector\, academia and others\, from across the globe. The event will be organised over a half day of diverse sessions. There is no expectation that participants would attend all sessions\, but can ‘pick and choose’ based on their interests and needs. Simultaneous interpretation between English\, French and Spanish will be provided. Read more about how to prepare for the VCE by reading  ‘Getting Ready for the VCE.’ \nPlease register your participation in the event using this link no later than 9 April 2021.\nWhere will the Virtual Community Exchange be held? \nThe Virtual Community Exchange will be held virtually on Zoom. Links to individual sessions will be circulated to registered participant the week before the event. \nWhat will the Virtual Community Exchange agenda cover? How can I contribute? \nThe interactive agenda for the VCE is available here\, offering three parallel sessions simultaneously. Participants are welcome to attend a session from each time slot\, or to ’pick and choose’\, only attending sessions that fit their needs and interests. This preliminary agenda will be updated with more exciting details as the event draws nearer\, so check back regularly for more updates.

SUMMARY:A Successful Marriage: Research-CSO partnerships delivering practical solutions
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Canadian Collaborative for Global Health\, participating projects (‘Labs’) worked in interdisciplinary partnerships with the objective of addressing an urgent data challenge. A key learning from this initiative is that these intersectional partnerships are ideally placed to address many critical issues\, but are not without their challenges. \nIn this 1 hour dialogue\, participants from the Labs will discuss: \n– What are principles of equitable partnership\, and how might this be measured?\n– Are there certain types of work to which research-CSO collaborations are uniquely suited?\n– How can we practically balance the multiple priorities of partners\, particularly when they are in conflict with each other?\n– How do we work equitably with global research and CSO partners\, recognizing power structures which have traditionally undervalued local expertise? \nRegister here
