As an adult educator and community engagement practitioner, I am part of the Spur Change

working towards gender equality and sustainable development goals.
Prior to joining ACGC, I worked closely with non-profit organizations to develop community-

transformation. Using a participatory-based approach, I work collaboratively with stakeholders
to tackle complex challenges and create more healthy, equitable and sustainable communities.
Similarly, I am also a board member at Singa Quebec, a citizen-led organization that works in
intercultural mediation with refugees and immigrants in Québec.
For the purpose of the talk I will be concentrating on the topic on how gender equality plays a
role in our program at Spur Change, in particular helping organizations foster a gender equity
lens in their activities at the local and international level.
This is a brief breakdown of the talk:
- 5 mins introducing the program
- 15 mins: provide context as to what is gender equality at Spur and how do we integrate it in our
program.
- 5 mins: examples of how SMOs are implementing a gender-equality lens into their activities
