Health in Common News
You know – it’s that feeling you get when you realize you have been glued to the speaker since they opened their mouth and you have absorbed every moment of the talk.
This workshop will discuss how to engage an audience and help them retain the content long after the presentation is over. It will help you share your work with others in a presentation, both orally and visually, so that people won’t forget it – for the right reasons.
Come early and join us for Continental Breakfast (provided).

9:00 – 10:30 Workshop
Learning Centre, United Way Winnipeg (580 Main Street)
Workshop fee: $20.00
Working through Evaluation with Funders and Project Partners
Anna Weier, Health in Common Planning and Evaluation Facilitator and Daniel Gravenor, Research and Technical Support, are providing evaluation support to northern Manitoba communities tackling food security issues through community economic development initiatives.
Two funders – Heifer International Canada (HIC) and the Province of Manitoba Northern Healthy Foods Initiative (NHFI) – have partnered to be able to provide this funding opportunity for these innovative new projects.
This funding collaboration reaches out to a diverse group of projects including a Beekeeping project through the Northern Association of Community Councils, and a Greenhouse Community Capacity Building Program in York Landing through Food Matters Manitoba.
The evaluation support provided by Health in Common is made possible by HIC and NHFI, signalling a commitment to meaningful reporting and evaluation that is directed by communities, ensuring programs meet the needs of the communities they serve.
