Public Dialogue and Workshop Series

Connecting the often overlooked or untold stories of trans-local leaders and learning about the impacts of their actions will occur through five public dialogue events (streamed live on the Internet) that involve the Canadian public. As well, SFU will host a series of learning workshops that involve university faculty, students, and trans-local leaders to share perspectives, experiences, theory and practice with a view to creating tools and resources that support their work.

Public Dialogues:

Workshop Series themes include:

  • The power of trans-local development (relative to the UN Millennium Development
    Goals)
  • Analysis and critical reflection of change and models of development
  • Creative strategies for engaging the Canadian public in development
  • Collaborative learning exchange among trans-local leaders—tools and
    resources

Issues relating to gender equality and environmental sustainability will be prominent in
all the dialogues and workshops.
