Women’s Symposium
The CTF/FCE Women’s Symposium gathers women in the education sector from across the country to explore topics aimed at strengthening the status of women and improving the situation for women in the education sector and the broader societal context.
Co-hosted by our Ontario Member Organizations (AEFO, ETFO, OECTA, and OSSTF/FEESO), the 2021 Symposium will be held virtually May 3 and 4. The theme “100+ From Struggle to Strength: Toujours plus fortes ensemble!” will honour the past contributions of women, while focusing on the future and inspiring the next 100 years of women in education.
Symposium topics include:
- Women in the workplace
- Women in leadership
- Practical skills for women leaders
- Equity and the politics of gender
Join us virtually for a two-day event featuring engaging speakers, interactive sessions and much more!
