Resourcing Girls in the 21st Century
Finding a new language and vision
This can be a half or full day workshop – a half day where Maggie takes
you through her findings – a full day where you also workshop
a full
plan of action.
9.15am - 12.30pm Workshop
In this
interactive presentation Maggie will share key findings
from her two year research into the lives of girls, which
has culminated in her new book What's Happening to Our Girls?
Over two years Maggie interviewed dozens of girls, teachers,
school counsellors, psychologists, law enforcement and
medical
personnel to get an insider's view on what girls are
experiencing
right now. There are over 100 girls' voices in the book.
