The document summarizes the Interplay Wellbeing Framework project which examines relationships between education, employment, health and wellbeing for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in remote communities. It involved literature reviews, community engagement, developing a framework and conducting quantitative surveys and qualitative focus groups in four communities. Key findings were that empowerment, culture and long term vision are important for effective programs. The framework provides a tool to inform policy and practice to improve outcomes in these areas. Future work includes further data collection, publications, and applying the tools developed by the project.

Project Proposal: Youth Without ShelterRebecca Sivel
Project proposal written for Youth Without Shelter, A homeless youth shelter in the west end of Toronto. This proposal address mental illness among homeless youth through social programming.
“Women and the All UP Unions: Mainstreaming the Women’s Agenda – An Integrated Field Work Paper” was written by Jelina (Jeng) Tetangco and Cindy Cruz-Cabrera as the final requirement for their field work with the All UP Workers Union and the All UP Academic Employees Union from November 2007 to March 2008.
Jeng and Cindy's fieldwork efforts covered the organization's first analysis conducted of women's participation, the mainstreaming of their agenda, and the consolidation of the gender committee and All UP Women's Solidarity.
This power-point analyses the Indian government and Sri Lankan's plans and budgets from a gender and equity lens. It argues that they are not gender and diversity transformative, do not focus on strengthening services for 'care' and engaging with men and boys on masculinities. Neither are budgets responsive to gender and diversity concerns. Finally, the paradigm of development is not consistent with gender and social equity

Dr Margo Greenwood (March 2017) Community- Based Participatory Research: A S...Sightsavers
This presentation was delivered at IAFOR’s Asian Conference on Education and International Development (ACEID) 2017 in Kobe, Japan.
Presentation abstract:
Community-based participatory research (CBPR) in an education context equitably involves teachers, pupils, community members, organisational representatives and researchers, with a commitment to sharing power and resources and drawing on the unique strengths that each partner brings. The aim through this approach is to increase knowledge and understanding of a given phenomenon and integrate the knowledge gained into interventions, policy and social change to improve the health and quality of life of those in the school community. Sightsavers, a disability-focused iNGO, has been implementing a community-based participatory research approach (CBPR) within its education and social inclusion research in the global South. This paper describes the CBPR methodology, how it works within international development, and its impact on Sightsavers interventions in schools. Specific reference will be made to working with teachers as peer researchers – including those with disabilities, training material for peer researchers, CBPR ethical principles, and community analysis of data.
Achieving Equitable Outcomes with Results-Based Accountability Clear Impact
Achieving equitable outcomes is an integral part of the implementation of Results Based Accountability (RBA). Each step of RBA's Turn the Curve process includes the opportunity for practitioners to consider diversity, equity, and inclusion. This webinar will provide participants with concrete methods for approaching their Turn the Curve process with equity at the forefront, and not as an afterthought.

L’application Jooay : Pour la promotion de la participation des enfants en si...ComSanté
La participation aux sports et activités de loisir est une importante composante du développement des enfants, mais l’engagement des enfants ayant une incapacité reste limité comparativement aux enfants du même âge. Les familles et professionnels de la santé ont indiqué que l’accès à l’information sur les ressources disponibles est un facteur essentiel facilitant la participation. Les familles ont d’autant plus exprimé qu’un système de support social solide améliore l’engagement des enfants dans le loisir. C’est dans ce contexte que deux chercheuses de l’Université McGill ont créé Jooay, une application mobile gratuite offrant un répertoire d’activités de loisir adaptées ou inclusives pour enfants ayant une incapacité disponible à travers le Canada. Jooay est également une communauté de support en-ligne permettant l’échange de conseils et expériences. Les activités de recherche de ce projet visent à (1) tracer les motifs de changements comportementaux des utilisateurs de l’application; (2) identifier les meilleures stratégies de dissémination d’information sur le loisir adapté et (3) implanter et évaluer des méthodes pour optimiser l’utilisation de cette technologie. L’information recueillie par le biais de l’application mobile pourra de surcroît être utilisée afin de guider les changements politiques et communautaires.

Healthy City works with community-based organizations to apply Community Based Participatory Action Research (CBPAR) in their mapping and community-engagement work. CBPAR starts with issues and strategies to produce analysis, uses mapping technology as one tool for community engagement and focuses on communities within a geographic location, such as a neighborhood. Using CPBAR in mapping facilitates engagement, education, strategizing, and dialogue among community members--including youth--and decision-makers.
Including young people in map making allows them to contribute their unique knowledge and lived experiences as community residents. Youth can provide invaluable insight and can act as change agents advocating on behalf of their communities. Whether you are a Youth Organizer, Community Liaison or Direct Service Provider, there are a number of ways you can incorporate and share youth data and stories using a variety of free resources and tools available on HealthyCity.org to build community power.
In this webinar you will learn how to:
1) Research and map youth population data to enhance program focus and planning on healthycity.org
2) Upload your own data onto a map
3) Use Wikimaps to better plan, collaborate and share youth outreach strategies and stories

Up the Ratios Bylaws - a Comprehensive Process of Our Organizationuptheratios
Up the Ratios is a non-profit organization dedicated to bridging the gap in STEM education for underprivileged students by providing free, high-quality learning opportunities in robotics and other STEM fields. Our mission is to empower the next generation of innovators, thinkers, and problem-solvers by offering a range of educational programs that foster curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.
At Up the Ratios, we believe that every student, regardless of their socio-economic background, should have access to the tools and knowledge needed to succeed in today's technology-driven world. To achieve this, we host a variety of free classes, workshops, summer camps, and live lectures tailored to students from underserved communities. Our programs are designed to be engaging and hands-on, allowing students to explore the exciting world of robotics and STEM through practical, real-world applications.
Our free classes cover fundamental concepts in robotics, coding, and engineering, providing students with a strong foundation in these critical areas. Through our interactive workshops, students can dive deeper into specific topics, working on projects that challenge them to apply what they've learned and think creatively. Our summer camps offer an immersive experience where students can collaborate on larger projects, develop their teamwork skills, and gain confidence in their abilities.
In addition to our local programs, Up the Ratios is committed to making a global impact. We take donations of new and gently used robotics parts, which we then distribute to students and educational institutions in other countries. These donations help ensure that young learners worldwide have the resources they need to explore and excel in STEM fields. By supporting education in this way, we aim to nurture a global community of future leaders and innovators.
Our live lectures feature guest speakers from various STEM disciplines, including engineers, scientists, and industry professionals who share their knowledge and experiences with our students. These lectures provide valuable insights into potential career paths and inspire students to pursue their passions in STEM.
Up the Ratios relies on the generosity of donors and volunteers to continue our work. Contributions of time, expertise, and financial support are crucial to sustaining our programs and expanding our reach. Whether you're an individual passionate about education, a professional in the STEM field, or a company looking to give back to the community, there are many ways to get involved and make a difference.
We are proud of the positive impact we've had on the lives of countless students, many of whom have gone on to pursue higher education and careers in STEM. By providing these young minds with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed, we are not only changing their futures but also contributing to the advancement of technology and innovation on a broader scale.
