This International Women's Day, we're celebrating more than just a date on the calendar. We're honouring the spirit of empowerment, skill-sharing, and community that defines Women's Shed Canberra.
"At WSC, we are committed to creating a supportive environment and providing a welcoming space where women can come together to learn, grow, and inspire one another. Our mission is simple yet powerful: to inspire all women to become self-sufficient by learning skills that will assist them in building, creating and repairing. We're breaking down barriers and promote equality to ensure that women have the same opportunities to learn and succeed. WSC is offering various workshops that are designed to help women gain confidence and independence. We promote gender equity, and contribute to the circular economy. "
Our Vision in Action
At WSC, we believe in more than just teaching practical skills – we're building a community where women can thrive, learn, and support each other. Our approach is hands-on and inclusive, focusing on:
- Empowering women through practical skill development
- Creating a supportive environment for learning and growth
- Breaking down traditional barriers in trades and DIY
- Promoting sustainability through repair and upcycling skills
