On the Move Workshops
Winter/Spring 2010 workshops
♦ Learn about the national On the Move initiative, CAAWS, and other exciting initiatives, such as Aboriginal Girls On the Move.
♦Discuss the value of physical activity and sport for girls and young women, and the barriers they confront to their participation.
♦Hear about best practices, successes and challenges from your community, and others across the country.
♦Discover practical tips and program ideas to engage inactive girls and young women and create positive programs that support their participation.
♦Network with individuals and community organizations, and discuss collaboration and local action to enhance existing programs or plan something new.
On the Move is CAAWS' national initiative to increase opportunities for inactive girls and young women (ages 9-18) to participate in sport and physical activity. On the Move Workshops are half-day, interactive, issue-based sessions that provide an overview of the initiative, share best practices from across Canada, and provide "how-to" tips to increase the participation of girls and young women. Appropriate for everyone from practitioners to policy makers, the workshops also provide an opportunity for participants to network and discuss collaboration and local action to make a difference in the lives of girls and young women in their community.

CAAWS pilots On the Move "Action" Workshops New!
This year, CAAWS will be piloting On the Move “Action Workshops” - facilitated planning sessions and ongoing consultation. They are designed to support communities or local, provincial/territorial or national organizations in addressing issues related to increasing girls’ and young women’s participation in sport and physical activity. Topics can range from developing a program model and delivery strategy, to developing a gender equity policy – whatever is needed to get more girls and young women active!
