Describe your workshop/presentation (300-500 words): 
The objective of this participatory information sharing and strategy session is to bring together individuals that work for national shelter organizations to share our work in the areas of advocacy and knowledge exchange.

We will explore the mechanisms used by national shelter organizations to 1) advocate and to 2) exchange knowledge in order to learn from one another focusing on both our successes and challenges. We will also explore the priorities of our organizations and how these differ (or not) in different regions of the world.
