The National Council of Indigenous Midwives (NCIM) is announcing WATCH PARTIES for the national virtual forum INDIGENOUS MIDWIFERY: BEYOND BIRTH on February 25th & 26th, 2025!
What are Watch Parties?
Watch Parties will gather people together in communities across Turtle Island to participate in the virtual forum. Participants will join the watch parties in-person to tune into the livestream, which can be accessed by anyone with an internet connection. Forum participants can decide to host or join a watch party, or tune in independently from their personal device.
Examples of watch parties are: friends gathered in a living room, colleagues gathered in a board room, or community members gathered in a hall, or any way you can imagine as long as people are getting together to tune in!
Who can host a watch party?
Anyone can host a watch party! Watch parties that receive funding through NCIM need to have a host over 18 who can sign a contract.
What is available to help watch party hosts?
Watch party hosts can apply for funding up to $1,000 for their event. Your group will need to keep track of your receipts and send them to NCIM with your report.
All hosts will receive access to a toolkit that includes activity suggestions, discussion questions and social media tools to support their event.
Other important info:
Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until all funds have been disbursed. Please submit your watch party information as soon as possible to be considered.
