Changing Faces: Reflecting our diverse communities in our leadership, staff and participants

Transition Oakville in Canada are being supported by FutureWatch (an organisation specialising in incomer inclusion in the green economy) to undertake a project aimed at enabling and including newcomer and immigrant communities. They’ll map and look at ways of engaging newcomer and immigrant groups within the communities they serve. FutureWatch will then facilitate a series of workshops for the staff and volunteers of Transition Oakville and Toronto Green Community (also partnering on the project) that will provide practical tools, policies and procedures. Finally, they’ll then be learning about and adapting 'promising/best practices' on newcomer inclusion in the environmental sector.
