FAWCO's Region 3 (France) regional meeting, hosted by AAWE Paris took place in Paris this past weekend of September 20-22, 2013. Over 50 participants came from the region (AAWE Paris, AWG Paris, AWG Languedoc-Roussillon) as well as guests from Bordeaux Women's Club and FAWCO clubs from Brussels, Berlin, The Hague and Zurich. FAWCO presentations, break out group discussions on club issues and an excellent talk on the post-2015 Gender agenda by Ms. Patti O'Neill (Co-ordinator of the DAC Network on Gender Equality, Global Policies and Partnerships Division, Development Co-operation Directorate, OECD) made for an empowering and content-rich meeting. Participants left energized by new friends and new ideas. Thank you to AAWE for a perfect meeting! Your team was formidable! Click below for presentations, photos and videos.
