The Government of Nunavut is hosting a Leadership Forum in August to build the capacity of Nunavummiut women.
Arnait Tulliningit, which refers to a women’s course, will take place in Rankin Inlet from August 23-26.
The GN’s Department of Family Services is organizing the four-day event with funding provided by the federal government’s Department for Women and Gender Equality.
“The forum aims to empower women and girls in Nunavut using traditional knowledge, skills and their roles as natural leaders,” the Department of Family Services said in a June 28 statement.
“Participants will work to build progressive steps, to expand social, economic and political opportunities, and lay the foundations for social change and gender equality in Nunavut.
The workshops will be guided by Pilimmakharniq/Pijariuqharniq, the ministry said, an Inuit approach to skill development through observation, mentorship, practice and effort.
One participant may be named to attend per community, the department said. Accommodation, meals and travel for participants will be covered.
To register for the event, contact Myna Kiguktak at 867-975-5212 or by emailing [email protected]
