How do we break down the barriers of ageism to unite as women against injustice? What can women learn from one another about our victories of the past and our challenges for the future? Where is the space for fruitful dialogue that leads to change?

In a unique partnership, the National Network of Presbyterian College Women and Presbyterian Women will sponsor an intergenerational dialogue at the 2006 NNPCW Leadership Event

in Louisville, Kentucky. This event, which will be held simultaneously with the Churchwide Gathering of Presbyterian Women, will allow college women to learn from leaders in the church and society while speaking out about the concerns that affect their lives today.

Participants will:

• Engage in a series of workshop dialogues with older women about issues ranging from feminism to violence against women to vocational discernment,
• Enjoy access to select Gathering events while maintaining the advantages of a safe space for young women in a separate leadership event,
• Host a culminating "conversation" about intergenerational dialogue for participants of the Gathering, based on the experiences of both older and younger women at the NNPCW event.

Who Should Come?
College women, from rising first-year students to graduating seniors. NNPCW is an ecumenical organization, so come whether you're Presbyterian, something else or not sure!

Cost
$200 includes housing for four nights (Friday, July 7-Monday, July 10) and the following meals:

• Friday: light dinner

The Churchwide Gathering of Presbyterian Women
The Churchwide Gathering of Presbyterian Women is the triennial national meeting of Presbyterian Women, an organization in covenant relationship with the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). The event generally brings 4,000-6,000 women from around the nation and the world to Louisville, Kentucky for five days of internationally-renowned speakers, dynamic workshops and wonderful networking opportunities with other women in the church.

Participants in the NNPCW Leadership Event will not be registered for the Gathering. However, students will have opportunities to attend some Gathering plenaries and will host an intergenerational forum to which all Gathering participants are invited. Because the Leadership Event will share facilities in the Kentucky International Convention Center with the Gathering, students will also share meals with Gathering participants and will have access to the Gathering Great Room.
