UPEI's International Development Week: February 6-12
UPEI will be celebrating its eleventh annual International Development Week (IDW), February 6-12, with all events open to the public. The 2012 theme will be 'Building Democracies: Instilling Civil Societies and Developing Democratic Processes.' IDW is a national event held each year to increase awareness of Canada's role in international development. The events also serve to educate the general public on life in developing countries.
Some of this year's IDW Week events include a community luncheon, global jam, student symposium, film screenings, and special guest presentations including Nadia Kostiuk, Vice-President of Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA). Kostiuk will speak on current challenges to development cooperation.
The full schedule of events is posted on upei.ca/idw. For more information, contact Dr. Christian Lacroix, Dean of Science, (902) 566-0320 or lacroix@upei.ca.
