The Mobile Learning Week (MLW) 2015: Leveraging technology for girls’ and women’s empowerment - deadline for proposal submissions is Friday 5 December. We would appreciate one last push by yourselves and your partners/networks to submit proposals (workshops, symposium presentations, exhibition). “Learning” is being interpreted rather broadly and also concerns issues of access, threats, economic empowerment, lifelong learning, stereotypes, etc in addition to themes around formal education.

 

Please also note that the materials and submission forms are available in multiple languages as indicated in the “flyer” below.

 

With many thanks,

 

UN Women MLW Team
