Call for Interest: Self-Care Learning and Discovery Series
White Ribbon Alliance (WRA), on behalf of the Self-Care Trailblazer Group (SCTG), is calling for interest among SCTG members* to organize thematic sessions at the inaugural Self-Care Learning and Discovery Series beginning 24 June - 27 August 2021. Please complete the session organizer interest form by 25 April 2021.

About the Self-Care Learning and Discovery Series
The Self-Care Learning and Discovery Series is a highly interactive virtual forum to exchange and incubate ideas, experiences and solutions on a variety of self-care topics. Open to all, objectives include:
Increase knowledge and understanding of different aspects of self-care and their intersections
Connect people within and across the self-care movement and inspire new partnerships
Exchange self-care approaches and learnings across contexts
Catalyze new self-care champions at all levels
Elevate community perspectives and solutions on self-care  

The series will consist of up to 12 virtual sessions organized by a different subset of SCTG members and partners during their preferred time zones. All sessions will be recorded and made available for viewing after the fact. Sessions will run 2 to 2.5 hours and explore a different “hot topic” and associated learning question. Session organizers will identify speakers and presentation modalities (e.g., plenary, facilitated panel, interactive roundtable, other), with the strong recommendation that at least one hour is dedicated to participatory discussion.

WRA will notify if you have been selected the week of 3 May 2021. WRA will match qualified organizations together, so that each session will have between two to four organizing partners.
