The United Nations HeForShe Movement is coming to Âé¶¹Ô´´!
Posted on: Sep 11, 2019
Âé¶¹Ô´´ will be the first Alberta stop in the tour, which will be travelling from Toronto to Vancouver next week. The #GetFree University Tour, sponsored by De Beers, is designed to engage students and university communities for the advancement of gender equality.
Our event will kick off (quite literally!) with Âé¶¹Ô´´â€™s Thunder Womens’ Soccer team and FC Edmonton, at a friendly practice at 9am. Cheer them on, sign up for the HeForShe movement, and receive great HeForShe giveaways!
Then join us for refreshments and a panel discussion aimed at considering allyship and how we can all work together to secure a world with gender equity. There’ll be a dynamic group of speakers and great panel discussion.
Speakers and panelists will include:
- Pamela Ellemers – Manager of Mineral Resource Management, De Beers Group
- Hannah Ludlage – Student, Vice-President, Student Life, Concordia Students’ Association
- Dr. Ha Tran – Assistant Professor, Department of Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Faculty of Science
- Dr. Barb van Ingen – Âé¶¹Ô´´ Vice-President, Student Life & Learning
- Edward Wageni – United Nations Global HeForShe Initiative Programme Manager
Plus a special guest!
