Our Partners

Anima Leadership is proud to share our past and current working partnerships with four national organizations committed to education as a force for an equitable, sustainable and peaceful future.

Canadian Race Relations Foundation

CRRF is a Crown Corporation that operates at arms-length from the federal government. An outcome of the 1988 Japanese Canadian Redress Agreement, the mandate of the CRRF is to fight racism in Canada. CRRF is recognized as a Canadian leader in policy development, research and education offering innovative solutions to combating racism in all its forms. CRRF has worked extensively nationally, including work on public interest remedies by the provincial Human Rights Commissions and was a partner to the federal government’s Racism Free Workplace Strategy. For more details on CRRF, please visit their website: www.crr.ca.

CRRF and Anima Leadership are joining forces to offer the Diversity and Equity Leadership Institute, an incredibly unique experiential training process that integrates diversity issues with emotional intelligence and conflict resolution. The Diversity and Equity Leadership Institute will be offered at different venues across Canada over the next year.

 

Tatamagouche Centre

Tatamagouche Centre is a non-profit education, retreat and conference Centre based in Tatamagouche, Nova Scotia. With varied residential and meeting spaces available, they offer over fifty programs each year, and host approximately 75 non-profit groups. Their mission is to invite and challenge people from diverse backgrounds to personal wholeness, right relationships, respect for the environment, and justice in the world. The Centre offers its hospitality to everyone, works for the justice of all people, and joyfully affirms and celebrates human diversity in sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender, ability, race, religion and age, regardless of economic situation.

Tatamagouche Centre and Anima Leadership are partnering to offer The Leadership Crucible: Foundations for Social Change program in early July 2010, in Nova Scotia. This program is a gathering for social change leaders from eastern Canada to engage with, practice, dialogue and discuss new and more effective ways in which we need to be organizing ourselves, our organizations and our movements.

Canadian Policy Research Networks

Closing it's doors in December, 2009, CPRN was renowned as a Canadian expert on social issues, providing policy options to move Canada forward. Through more than 700 publications, CPRN's work touched on many major socio-economic challenges facing Canadian society such as health care, supports to families, learning opportunities, job quality, and sustainable cities and communities. With federal, provincial and local governments relying on their research for ideas on how to solve pressing policy problems, they were Canada's most influential social policy think tank.

In 2008, CPRN and Anima Leadership collaborated on conducting a series of Youth Dialogues across Newfoundland and Labrador (N-L) to advise the Provincial Government on policies in support of making N-L a province of choice for young people to live and work in.

 


United World Colleges of the Netherlands

United World Colleges (UWC) of the Netherlands is part of a global educational movement started in the 1960s which brings together students from all over the world, regardless of their ability to pay. The UWC mission is to make education a force to unite people, nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable future. The UWC network has over ten colleges around the world including in Canada, the US, India, Italy, Norway, Singapore, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Costa Rica. UWC Netherlands is currently in negotiations with the Dutch government, as well as other prominent European organizations, to open a UWC college in the Netherlands in 2009.

In partnership with UWC-Netherlands, Anima Leadership designed and offered the unique Youth Leadership Summit that continues to operate each summer for European youth. The program was initiated by Ralph Schreinemachers after attending a leadership program at Pearson United World College on Vancouver Island. His passion was to offer a similar program that would address the growing social and cultural tensions in Dutch and European society. Based on Anima Leadership’s unique program methodology (see Intercultural Conflict and PeaceBuilding Program), this effective and transformational program is designed to support diverse youth in becoming future leaders on integration and cross-cultural issues. July, 2010 marks this program’s sixth year anniversary!

 

W.H.Y. Bolivia

W.H.Y. (United Youth for Development) Bolivia is a youth-led NGO focused on innovative community development projects, social integration and international cooperation. W.H.Y. Bolivia was started by Geraldine Vasquez, a youth graduate of the Youth Leadership Summit that took place in the Netherlands. Geraldine was so excited by the program that she started her own organization in Bolivia to support young people as future leaders of social inclusion.

Anima Leadership, UWC-Netherlands and WHY Bolivia partnered to offer the first "Youth Integration and Leadership Summit" in December 2008. Youth leaders from all parts of Bolivia attended a week-long training based on Anima's unique leadership development process (see Intercultural Conflict and PeaceBuilding Program). Focusing on anti-discrimination, dialogue and leadership skill development as well as integration issues, this program offers youth the necessary skills to create and continue projects focussed on bridging difference in their home communities. December 2010 is the second year anniversary for this progam.
