WCEH International Conference: Virtual #2

Dear Guides and Young Adults, 

We are pleased to present “Women of Change: Empowering Her”, an international conference initiated and hosted by YAs in Singapore.  The programme will consist of two virtual workshops on 18 and 25 January 2026, followed by an in-person conference from 14 March to 16 March 2026. 

“Women of Change: Empowering Her” is an international programme dedicated to championing gender equality. It will serve as a platform to inspire, equip and empower young women with the knowledge, skills and confidence to advocate for gender equality – in alignment with SDG 5: Gender Equality and the WAGGGS leadership mindset on Gender Equality.

Through workshops and conference sessions, participants will engage with industry professionals, exchange stories with like-minded young women from diverse cultural backgrounds and build a strong network of passionate changemakers. Furthermore, this programme will provide a safe and empowering space for discussion, ideation and the development of initiatives that break down gender barriers. The overview and details of the programme can be found in this link.

Ultimately, we hope that this will create opportunities for all young women to thrive and develop their fullest potential in a more equitable world. After the event, participants will be expected to complete a community impact project within their own Member Organisation / local community. More information on the impact project will be released at a later date.

Participation is open to all GGS Girl Members aged 15 to 25. 

The event fee is SGD250 per participant. Payment instructions will follow upon registration.
