A MANCHESTER CELEBRATION FOR INTERNATIONAL WOMENS DAY

The shape of the day is one of innovation, interaction and inspiration. Forget sitting back and listening to a string of speakers, this is about getting involved and getting back what you put into the day.

The main areas of focus are self development and exploring how we can make a difference to others locally, nationally and internationally via a variety of workshops covering topical areas of interest and driven by the participants on the day. We will of course also be having fun, a charity zone and lots of opportunities to network.

The day is being delivered by a number of individuals who are working together on a donation of time and talent basis for women. Just like the Monastery with ‘bricks’ of resource and talent we are building the Manchester Celebration of International Women’s Day

Who Should Attend?

Proactive people who want to make a difference to the world around them as well as start/continue to 'direct their own life'. This is not a passive event!
