LANGUAGE-SPECIFIC COVID VACCINE EDUCATION WORKSHOPS
In response to high levels of vaccine hesitancy and misinformation, RWN initiated language-specific workshops to create accessible, trustworthy information sharing and Q&A for community members. RWN is partnering with various community organizations to find medical experts to facilitate workshops and to help disseminate flyers to encourage participation. RWN Community Health Promoters help with translation, communication, partnership, and outreach for their specific communities. See our upcoming events in various languages with MDs from CDC, Emory, Grady and more.

Leadership Training for Refugee and Immigrant Women
Refugee Women’s Network, is very excited to bring back RWN’s iconic leadership training for refugee and immigrant women interested in building community. This program is for women looking for deeper and more effective ways to engage locally and globally. The training will focus on identifying strengths and challenges in ourselves and our communities. Through group discussions, we will learn how to engage others, build networks, find resources and move to actions.
The lead facilitator for the training will be Ms. Thanh Xuan Nguyen, the founder of the Refugee Women’s Network. Ms Xuan has led Leadership and Community Organizing Training for refugee and immigrant women while at the Refugee Women’s Network in Georgia, and with Heartland Democracy in Minnesota, the City of Philadelphia and the Hmong Women Association in Wisconsin. She also conducted the Young Women Leadership training for the Grail International in Mozambique.
We believe every woman has a voice and we hope this is the space for those voices to emerge.
When: August 25 to August 30, 2019 (Residential training)
Where: Historic Banning Mills, 205 Horseshoe Dam Rd, Whitesburg, GA 30185
Refugee Women’s Network will cover the expenses of participants to attend this training, however, we will require full attendance during the entire week and commitment to develop and implement a project in your community within 8 or 10 months of training.
