Charter for Compassion International Women and Girls Sector, along with partner organizations, recognizes the need for a greater inclusion of voices and involvement of women in leadership in the global healing and transformation that is occurring. For that purpose, we have put together the Reaction to Response Webinar Series.

Purpose of Series:
Given the challenging times we are living in, the purpose of this series is to provide on-going discussions focused on responding rather than reacting to our current global state of affairs. Through this series, we intend to help shift from fear-based reactions to care-based responses, that is, learning from history in order to further lay the foundation for compassionate and care-based communities.

This series will provide the platform to:

1. hear from, and be inspired by, “well-known” experts in the field, or grassroots and/or community leaders doing “cutting edge” work around creating a care and compassion-based reality for people and planet; and
2. through the pre- and post-call Facebook discussion, inspire and encourage community engagement at the local, national, and international levels.
