[Ftffacilitationteam] Workshop on economic literacy

[Ana Agostino]

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
