[Ftffacilitationteam] Workshop on economic literacy

Jue Abr 2 11:35:15 UYT 2009

Dear all,
We have up to now receive confirmation of interest from Pam and Luisa. I am wondering about Josephine, as she was particularly interested in the issue of economic literacy. Josephine, could you please confirm whether you will be attending or not. We hope you are able to make it as this is an important activity and we also want to have a FTF meeting.
Confirmed already are: Rosa, Marcela, Marta Benavidez, and the indication of Pam and Luisa, plus myself. So quite a good attendance.
I would suggest that Rosa, Pam and Luisa start doing your bookings. I know that Marcela has already done it and I already have my ticket. Please send us the costs so we can reimburse you before you travel, or even before you have to do the payment. We will also cover accommodation and per diems. Besides us as FTF members, we are inviting grass roots women who can make presentations of their own experience, and there will be women attending the conference who have a long experience on gender, education and poverty who will also make presentations at the workshop. 
Besides the one organised on the 18th of May as self organised activity, there will be another workshop on Gender, education and poverty at the conference itself that is being organised by REPEM, the Latin American Network of Women working on women's popular education. They had asked us for suggestions on possible speakers and we think it would be great if Rosa and Josephine (as they are looking for someone from Africa) could also be speakers at this workshop that will be inside the CONFINTEA VI. This one will take place on 20 or 21 May. This is important for the dates of your return tickets. 
In summary, I would very much appreciate it if we can get the following confirmations:
Josephine: whether you will be attending (and we really hope you will be there!!). If you are, please confirm if you are able to participate at the workshop inside the Conference that will deal with gender, education and poverty.
Luisa, Rosa and Pam: send us costs of tickets so we can already do the transfers for you to buy the tickets.
Rosa: besides the ticket cost, please confirm if I can give your name for the workshop inside Confintea. 
Below (in message from 26 March) is the suggested concept for our workshop on the 18th of May, please send us comments.
I am also including this concept in Spanish:

Síntesis del taller:
El taller sobre mujeres y alfabetización económica se enfocará por un lado en las experiencias de base (analizando en qué medida las iniciativas económicas en las que participan las mujeres las han empoderado, y cómo) y por otro lado se analizará la relación de estas prácticas con los procesos económicos y financieros globales, en particular el proceso de financiamiento para el desarrollo desde una perspectiva de género. Habrá aportes de mujeres trabajando a nivel local y a nivel global en diversas regiones del mundo y se analizará el impacto de la dimensión educativa en la erradicación de la pobreza. Además de las panelistas se promoverá la presentación de experiencias de las y los participantes y se generará un debate. 
Como resultado del taller se busca identificar las capacidades necesarias para fortalecer las experiencias existentes y desarrollar nuevas y para aportar a los procesos globales de transformación. 

I look forward to your feedback!
Thanks,
Ana

  Subject: [Ftffacilitationteam] Workshop on economic literacy

  Dear all,

  I am finally writing to you in relation to the workshop.
  As you probably recall, we had agreed upon as part of our work plan for 2009 to organise a workshop on economic literacy. Josephine had in fact sent a concept for a programme on economic literacy. The workshop will not be the space for developing the programme but it can be an input as part of the debate. 
  The idea is to present a workshop on economic literacy that will focus on experiences from grass root women (looking at whether the economic initiatives they are involved in have really empowered them, and if so, in which ways) and at the same time, what is the link of these local practices with the global processes that so many women are working on, in particular the financing for development process. There will be contributions from women working at the local level, others at the global level, we will try to see how the educational dimension plays a role in poverty eradication, and we think that we should also have an analytical framework introduced that will include a critical approach to development, etc. 
  The workshop will be co-organised by the Gender and Education Office (GEO) of ICAE and the FTF. This is a very important articulation as it brings together women working in the education sector and women mobilised around poverty eradication, in an effort to bring these two dimensions together. 
  Rosa, Marcela and I are confirmed to be there. Pam and Luisa have indicated interest. We would like to confirm not later than next week who will be attending, as the International Civil Society Forum in which it will take place is from the 16th to the 18th of May. This will be previous to the UN conference on adult ecucation, so it is a key opportunity to do lobby with governments that will be there. 
  I look forward to all your comments, and hope to have confirmations by next week. In the meantime I will work on a programme proposal for the workshop.
  Greetings,
  Ana
