International Women’s Day 2009: Calling all creative women

Calling all women who are aspiring community leaders, practising artists, activists, creative types and trouble makers with a passion for social justice!

Lilla is running a weekend creativity workshop for women coinciding with International Women’s Day in March 2009. This workshop will bring together a group of practising and emerging musicians, artists, writers and other creative storytellers to explore the connections between social justice and creative expression. The range of creative works initiated at this event will be developed over a few months culminating in an exhibition later in the year. Currently we are seeking participants and creative mentors to be part of the workshop. Please email info@lilla.org.au for more information

Volunteer Opportunity – Graphic Designer needed

The Lilla Women’s Network at ERC is looking for a graphic designer to assist with the layout of a directory we are compiling, of women’s NGOs in Chiapas, Mexico. This work is essential in its support of grassroots organisations in terms both of safety, and networking. It would most likely be a few days worth of work. Spanish language skills would be a bonus, but are not essential. Please contact marthese@lilla.org.au.

Applications for second round of Mexico internships now open

The Lilla Women’s Network at ERC have decided to open up our Mexico internship program for a second round, and as such we are looking for Spanish speaking women available from June 28^th for a three month internship program. This program will be supported both in country and from Sydney, and will involve working in a grass roots organisation in pursuit of social justice for women. Please contact marthese@lilla.org.au for more information.
