# Event Details - **Event Name**: Paris Circle Brainstorm: Help Shape Solena Collective - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 22 Nov, 2025 at 05:00 pm – Sat, 22 Nov, 2025 at 06:30 pm - **Event Description**: Help shape a Solena Circle in Paris—an organized group of women taking on real local issues as part of a global movement.About this EventThe Solena Collective is a new organization building a global network of Circles designed to strengthen local leadership, shift opportunity, and address the conditions that limit women’s lives. Each Circle brings together 10–25 women to look at what’s happening in their community, identify what needs to change, and take practical action — whether that’s supporting young mothers, pushing for safer public spaces, improving access to education, or creating economic opportunities.Solena Circles are small, organized units of women who combine connection with concrete work: sharing skills, mapping local realities, mentoring across generations, and developing projects that move things forward. Circles in different countries learn from one another and strengthen each other’s efforts, creating a wider movement of women shifting the ground where they stand.This session in Paris is the first step in exploring what a Circle here should take on — what matters to women in this city, what feels urgent, and what kind of collective effort would make a difference. We’ll look at the Solena model, discuss what fits (and what doesn’t), and begin shaping the early identity of a Paris Circle.If you care about building something real with other women — something rooted in action, not slogans — this conversation is for you.We'll be meeting in a cafe near République. The exact location will depend on how many people sign up.AGENDA17:00 – 17:10 | Welcome, Introductions & PurposeSetting the frame: why Solena exists and what strategic role Paris could play.17:10 – 17:20 | The Solena Collective: How the Model WorksA direct overview of how Circles organize, what they do, and why they work.17:20 – 17:50 | What Should a Women’s Circle in Paris Take On?A grounded conversation about real needs, gaps, and opportunities in the city.17:50 – 18:10 | What Could This Circle Actually Do?Exploring feasible projects, skill exchanges, and community-level actions.18:10 – 18:20 | Structure: What Would Make It Work Here?Adapting the Solena model to local realities and constraints.18:20 – 18:30 | Next Steps & Ways to Get InvolvedFor women who want to help shape or potentially lead the Paris Circle.WHO THIS SESSION IS FORWomen who want to:be part of designing a new community space from the ground upexplore building a women’s leadership + action Circle in Pariscontribute their lived experience to the broader Solena modelcollaborate on practical ways women can support each otherjoin early conversations about Paris Circle leadership or membershipconnect with a global movement rooted in local actionNo long-term commitment required, but this is a space for builders, contributors, and curious collaborators.ABOUT THE CO-FOUNDERSJanice Levenhagen is a gender equality and community-building specialist with 13+ years of experience launching programs and networks that support women in STEM, leadership, and career development.
