Seeking Congress Workshop Presenters
Greetings WILPF Members!
Thank you for your thoughtful responses to the Congress workshop survey emailed in April. Your input helped to identify the Issue and Skill-Building Workshop topics most members where interested in learning about and to create a more productive Congress for all. We received a terrific response with a lot of great suggestions!
We are now seeking individuals who would be interested in leading an Issue or Skill-building Workshop using approaches resulting in collaborative discussions and next-step action items.
Based on feedback from respondents to the first survey, members expressed the most interest in the following proposed topics:

- Global Warming: Food Sovereignty and Regenerative Agriculture
- Next Steps after Ban the Bomb to Peace and Freedom
