After women in each program cycled through these three activities, they met in the afternoon to participate in one of three workshops.

Workshop 1: I facilitated a guided reflective writing workshop, offering women the opportunity to explore something that had happened in their woman-positive activity that they wanted to understand better.

Workshop 2: Frances facilitated a discussion on how women's participation in the research was affecting their personal and professional lives. Women explored how they were changing and if they thought they would be able to continue with woman-positive work once the project ended.

Workshop 3: Kathleen Rockhill and Evelyn Battell facilitated a discussion examining the question: How do you work with differing interests among students, colleagues, various administrative channels, different forces in the community? For example, what do you do when different students have different agendas, when students' desires conflict with the desires of the funding agency?

Several women visited Beat the Street and its neighbourhood. This photograph anted to cry because photograph is from Recipes for Political Action published by the women's committee at Beat the Street.

Following these sessions, most women went into Toronto for the evening. Many chose to visit Beat the Street with Robin Silverman Allcorn and Pat MacNeil. This experience touched many women deeply. Cathy Short (Rabbittown Learners Program) later wrote a piece that was included in Beat the Street's documentation, Recipes for political action. (1993) She talked about her profound shock at seeing women, men, girls, boys, and babies living on the streets.

The street walk is an experience I'll never forget. I saw and heard things that I've only seen on TV or read about. . . . I met woman who lived on the street and I met her infant baby. Although I was told this was nothing unusual, I couldn't help feeling sad. It was 9:30 in the night and it was raining...

I can't put on paper the different feelings I experienced that night. There were times I just wanted to cry because I felt so helpless people on the street help each other and different groups help out too. I can only say, "Thank you, Beat the Street."(p.35)
