Our Expectations for Presenters

Content

Content will focus on the perspective and experiences of underserved communities. Centering the services on the most marginalized survivors.

Safe & Supportive Space

Conversation should lead inclusive and respectuful discussion that allows attendees to learn and  process dificult conversations.

Hands-on Tranferable or Interactive

Attendees have indicated on their feedback forms they are most interested in sessions that provide hands-on or interactive learning.  We encourage presenters to develop their presentation and content with this in mind as opposed to an academic format. 

Session Wrap-up

Provide a good closing to your session that helps attendees apply what they’ve learned and feel empowered to act. 

Conference Themes and Topics

The Colorado Advocacy in Action Conference is a place to share, discuss, and explore the connections and creative solutions essential in our efforts to address and end sexual and domestic violence. We are looking for presenters to address what survivors and communities really need, not just for intervention, but also for prevention and for social change. We welcome workshops on advocacy beyond services. Here are some questions that you might consider as you prepare your presentation/proposal:

2020 CAIA Call for Proposals Closes November 12, 2019 at 5PM MT

  • What does advocacy look like? What are emerging issues and best practices that have been successful in your program/community?
  • What is the role of a direct service program in prevention within the social movement?
  • What is the role of collaborations to best support and engage underserved communities in your area?
  • How has your program innovatively worked with other kinds of service providers (faith, culturally specific, military, sports leaders, etc.) to meet the needs of traditionally marginalized survivors/communities?
  • How can we work toward dismantling oppression that is at the root of gender violence?
