Over 30 people attended from a wide variety of sectors and organisations around Manchester.
Routes to Solidarity will shortly be running a small project on BME women and social enterprise. Routes to Solidarity will bring together a small number of BME women who are developing social enterprises and would like to get support in this work.
The idea is to host regular (maybe monthly) group sessions, each one focusing on a specific aspect of developing a social enterprise (e.g. market research, legal issues etc).
The Muslim and Jewish Forum Greater Manchester will be hosting it's 5th annual arts event in celebration of International Women's Day 2013 at The Manchester Multifaith Centre. This year's event is bigger than ever with more workshops planned over two weekends! There will be drama, art, dance and creative writing workshops as well as kosher and Asian refreshments!
In LSEN, we're quite excited at the moment about Open Badges as a means of promoting and strengthening informal and learner-led learning.
Open Badges are a way of accrediting learning, skills and achievements - both big and small. They also allow accreditation to be granted outside of traditional institutional pathways. Virtually any organisation or individual can issue a badge, about virtually anything.

Finding a job can be tough, especially if the world has moved on since you were last looking. That's why three Manchester organisations are joining together to offer IT training for women - for free. The Digital Skills for Women in Manchester workshops, taking place in five libraries from January to July 2013, will equip women with the tools they need in today's workplace.
There are four courses available: Basic IT skills, Social Media, Introduction to Web Development and Introduction to Programming.
Development Education Project (DEP) has been funded by WEA/ESF to deliver this NEW community learning project.
The project will run as a 10 week programme on a weekly basis for one day a week and the guided learning hours will be 30 hours with additional support available for one to one support.
