Dear women of Moniheli's member associations,

Moniheli's Women working group is arranging a workshop training for Moniheli's member associations: "Empowering immigrant women with the positive mindsets to approach challenges".

Date: Saturday 10 December 2011 from 9 to 17, lunch and snacks will be served free of charge for the whole workshop.

This training is targeted at immigrant women of Moniheli's association members.
This training is given primarily to Moniheli's association members and we are requesting each member association to send 1-2 women representatives to participate in this training.

The objectives of this training are:

1. To empower multicultural women who are living in the capital area by promoting a positive mindset
2. To motivate women in pursuing certain challenges or changes they encounter whilst integrating into the Finnish society. The common challenges which exist among multicultural women are for example family challenges, job situation challenges, cultural integration challenges, health challenges etc.
3. To establish a peer support group for women by mentorship method. Peer support group is the volunteer group of women who have participated in this workshop and would like to continue sharing, bringing their ideas and support and help to motivate the positive mindset to other multicultural women.

After this training, the women representatives of each association members should be able to be part of the Moniheli's women core support group.

Member associations will be contacted individually by phone in the coming week.

Please see the invitation leaflet (link), and please send the name and contact information of your association women representatives to Nan (women's group coordinator) at the address nontharos(at)gmail.com or by phone at 044 253 9877.
Please confirm your registration by 30 November 2011.

We look forward to meeting women representatives at the workshop!
