This session is third in our SGD Makeover Series on Humanity Rising where we will share our social innovation process and our learning to date for a fundamental makeover of SDG 3- Health and Wellbeing.
On March 8, 2021, we celebrated International Women's Day with a focus on “Gender equality today for a sustainable tomorrow.” And while this is a laudable goal, there is so much more that women can and must contribute to a world in crisis. Now is the time for radical change. It is time for a deeply rooted and divinely inspired paradigm shift. It is time for unconventional processes. It is a time for us – those with the passion, experience, intellect, wisdom, and power to author our next chapter for humanity. This is the focus of Girl Driven Solutions or GDS which is beginning with a makeover of the Sustainable Development Goals - from sustainability to regeneration.
On March 21st, 2022, we will be conducting the third session in this SGD Makeover Series on Humanity Rising where we will share our social innovation process and our learning to date for a fundamental makeover of SDG 3- Health and Wellbeing. Most importantly, we will undertake an enquiry as to the meaning and practice of 'health and wellbeing' through an indigenous lens. This conversation will put SDG 3 under a unique spotlight and allow for us to collectively explore the broader, deeper and more holistic view of health and wellbeing that is at its essence - life - from birth to education to spiritual development to healing trauma to governance and authentic empowerment. This solstice offers us a unique time for this conversation.
The women who will undertake this exploration are:
- Hilary Van Welter: GDS Co-Creator is the social innovator behind GDS. As the CEO of Ascentia, she plays in the cracks, on the fringes and at the frontiers to find enriching, inventive wellbeing of all through the significant challenges presented by our tumultuous world. She is inspired by moving into uncharted territory and unleashing the hidden potential using vehicles such as outdoor space redesign (partnership between people and nature), entrepreneurial initiatives such as co-designing with women in a federal penitentiary (incarceration as a mentor), municipal public strategy and policy designed with stakeholders (water and waste as drivers of innovation and wellbeing.
- Cynthia Wesley-Esquimaux: GDS Convener is quietly, but determinately Indigenizing spaces of inequity and exclusion as part of Canada's yet another decolonization journey. Making people uncomfortable is part and parcel of flipping every paradigm and securing a place of safety. She brings lived experience and hope into the work she has been called to do because it has long been said that it isn't over until the hearts of women are on the ground, and we're doing our level best to ensure that never happens.
- Anne Chabot works as a Director of Policy and Government Relations for the Windigo First Nations Council and has significant experience and knowledge of Indigenous governance. She is from Kitiganzibi First Nation in Quebec.
- Greer Atkinson, Indigenous Director of Education, Anishinabek Nation, is from the Chippewas of Georgina Island First Nation in Ontario and is a single mother of three amazing young girls. She knows why we need to ensure women have strong well-being into the future.
- Tareyn Johnson-Reid, Artist, Business Owner of She Came Shining and, Director of Indigenous Affairs at the University of Ottawa, and is from the Chippewas of Georgina Island First Nation.
