Programme Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Circle<\/strong> is a community-designed empowerment and upskilling programme for migrant and refugee women<\/strong> in Canterbury. It’s a women only programme, delivered by female facilitators. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Created by women, for women, The Circle provided a safe, culturally responsive space for participants to build confidence, explore opportunities, and pursue personal and professional development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While The Circle is currently inactive<\/strong>, it remains a central part of our mission \u2014 and we continue to work toward bringing it back in response to community demand and available funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The Circle gave me the courage to speak up \u2014 in English, in public, and in my own life.<\/p>

      It felt like a second home. I was heard, seen, and supported by other women who understood.<\/p>
