Start conversations in your community or workplace

We Were Here All Along is a 5-minute short film created with the aim of inspiring reflection and discussion related to the workfinding experiences of STEM-trained immigrant women in Canada. This page also features an easy-to-follow discussion guide that can be used to help you facilitate a 45-60 minute interactive session at your workplace or with members of your community based on the themes identified in the film.

The film and associated Discussion Guide are specifically designed so they can be used by anyone, including immigrant women in STEM, employers, and equity advocates, to start conversations in their community or workplaces and push for meaningful reflection around power structures, diverse experiences, and the loss of potential in Canada’s STEM economy when barriers to equitable inclusion aren’t removed for talented women.
