Youth Convention to confront elephant in the room with screening of ground-breaking documentary
By Amy Hogue
Lanark County Interval House (LCIH) is looking at helping young women explore the realities of the relationships between women, through the screening of a ground breaking documentary at a grades seven and eight Youth Conference on April 15, 2015. The screening of the documentary, which is called “Finding Kind,” will take place at the conference as a means of identifying the behaviours that currently exist between girls, as well as exploring the different ways girls can learn to be kind to one another.
The film, which has been identified by Vanity Fair as a film “to redress the mean-girl phenomenon” can be used as a tool for educators and parents to try and stop the cycle of girl bullying that often takes place in society.
In the documentary, filmmakers Lauren Parsekian and Molly Stroud set out in a cross country journey of discovery, interviewing women and girls along the way about their lives and experiences. The documentary also includes interviews with experts and authors in the fields of psychology, education, and the interrelationships of women and girls.
LCIH executive director, Erin Lee, explained there has been some push back from the community about the film, questioning Interval House’s selection, but that the reality for girls and women and their treatment of one another is something which shouldn’t be ignored. Lee pointed out that society has evolved where women have to fight for many things in their lives, such as votes, equality, or pay equity, and that if women and girls could show solidarity they would be more effective in winning these battles.
“Patriarchy and oppression exist, and we have young girls who are mean to each other,” Lee stated. “We can’t avoid the fact that people hurt each other through Facebook.”
LCIH public education coordinator and Family Court support worker, Brianne Luckasavitch echoed this statement.
“We confront uncomfortable topics every day, we talk about women in trouble… Our job is to unpack some of this stuff.”
Grades seven and eight were selected as the range for the screening of this film as Lee said she felt the transition at that age is more stressful, particularly now that these ages are integrated into the high schools. To date, Finding Kind has spread to over 30,000 females in 300 schools and organizations.
Lee said she would like to talk about the elephant in the room and say to girls “let’s talk about how we’re all similar, and how we can appreciate the uniqueness in each of us.”
The film is scheduled for screening on April 15 at PDCI, and students from throughout the Lanark County school boards, both public and Catholic, will take part in the screening. Luckasavitch said if there is enough interest from the community there is the potential to arrange for a separate screening of the film for community members or older students.
If interested in arranging for a separate showing of this ground-breaking film, please contact Brianne Luckasavitch at Lanark County Interval House at brianne@lcih.com or at 613-257-3469 ext. 63.
Nominate a woman ‘Making It Happen’ by Mar. 5 for International Woman’s Day
By Amy Hogue
Recognizing the passage of International Women’s Day (IWD), which this year will take place on Mar. 8, is nothing new for Lanark County Interval House. Each year, they celebrate this special day for women in their own unique way. In past years, that recognition has involving marking the day with everything from movie screenings to creative bumper sticker campaigns, and this year’s event is guaranteed to be a big hit in the community.
#MakeItHappen, the theme for the 2015 Interval House IWD event, is in keeping with the Interval House movement to engage the community, and will encourage the community to recognize the efforts of women and women’s issues.
“We’re encouraging everyone in our community to honour a woman in their circle who is doing her best to make it happen,” Lanark County Interval House executive director, Erin Lee, explained. “We want women to know that everybody decides how we honour women.”
A few examples of some of the ways in which a woman could be considered to ‘make it happen,’ could include someone who leads by example, cheers for the underdog, engages in the struggle to end violence against women, mentors and volunteers, contributes to the strength of others, or is thoughtful and kind. Interval House encourages members of the community to honour this woman, who could be a friend, a family member, or a co-worker.
“It’s nice to post something that’s positive for a change,” Interval House Public Education Coordinator and Family Court Support Worker, Brianne Luckasavitch said, adding that they would like to demonstrate that someone’s efforts “no matter how small or how big aren’t going unnoticed.”
Nominations can be made between Monday, Feb. 3 and Thursday, Mar. 5, 2015, by visiting the Lanark County Interval House website at http://lcih.org/international-womens-day, to complete the nomination form. For each nomination received, the nominee will be sent an e-card honouring her efforts to ‘make it happen’ as well as being featured on the Interval House Facebook page and website.
