There were in total 13 participants and 1 parent. 3 members of the research team were present. The main objective of this workshop was to revise both, the various concepts of rights, leadership, etc. that participants had been exposed to as well as the activities that they had been a part of over the years. Through the two-day workshop we also revisited some questions of their identity as disabled women and girls, their views on leadership and concepts around knowledge\/praxis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"240\" height=\"180\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/ddsc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/222\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-07-23-at-10.52.56-240x180.jpeg\" alt=\"A group of women and girls with disabilities wearing colourful traditional clothing.\" class=\"wp-image-1236\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/ddsc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/222\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-07-23-at-10.52.56-240x180.jpeg 240w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/ddsc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/222\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-07-23-at-10.52.56-160x120.jpeg 160w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/ddsc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/222\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-07-23-at-10.52.56-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/ddsc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/222\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-07-23-at-10.52.56-400x300.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/ddsc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/222\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-07-23-at-10.52.56-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/ddsc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/222\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-07-23-at-10.52.56-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/ddsc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/222\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-07-23-at-10.52.56-800x600.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/ddsc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/222\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-07-23-at-10.52.56-360x270.jpeg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>A group photo of women and girls with disabilities in July 2025<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The participants were enthusiastic and active in the sessions. They were keen to learn things they did not know, for instance, the steps to organizing an awareness programme or workshop in their community. At the same time they were articulate about sharing their own experiences. Overall the workshop ended on positive notes, with a whatsapp group having been created (with most of the girls and women becoming a part of it) and plans for a programme organized by them in the autumn of this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ENGAGE-India_Leadership Workshop: Key Learnings and Reflections A residential workshop was conducted during 30th June and 1st July 2025 as part of Project ENGAGE, in Seva Kendra Calcutta.
