Dear EdEquity members:
The fall season is just around the corner and there are two exiting online
discussion happening next week. In addition many conferences and
professional development opportunities in this weekly resources.
ONLINE PANEL DISCUSSIONS:
September 10-14, 2001 EdEquity Dialogue with the Experts Panel begins its
discussion on transition from school to careers. The career education
programs such as "school to work", vocational education and job trainings
can be the stepping stones for economic independence for many girls and
women. But the reality is that many female students face sex
discrimination in their career options to be successful. So join us in this
lively discussion. To subscribe to the Dialogue sending an e-mail to
majordomo@mail.edc.org. The subject must be left blank. The body of the
message should read: subscribe edequity (no quotation marks or other

from
community technology centers around the U.S.

leading or assisting with cultural events, church groups, or mentoring
programs)
* the need to involve youth more in programs and decision making
* how the media represents youth
* the problem of unequal access to technology
* race and age discrimination
* the difference that teens can make in their communities and beyond
For this online panel, both YOUTH and ADULTS (such as community technology
professionals, youth workers, educators) are encouraged to participate.
