Upcoming Events

• Institute for the Study of International Development

  McGill University's Institute for the Study for International Development is launching an Executive Education Program in International Development. It is a four day program (October 17-20, 2011) designed for those that have work experience and are interested in working in international development. Participants will receive a certificate upon completion of the program. The Institute has assembled a world class teaching team and will be offering unparalleled post-program support to help participants secure opportunities and to expand their own networks. Class sizes will purposely be kept small to ensure that support can be provided to each program participant during and after the program.

  The program outline in avaiable in this brochure.

  You can also find more detailed information at the Institute for the Study for International Development.

• The Canadian Social Forum (May 19-22, 2009)

• Other conferences of interest

The Social Welfare Policy Conference

• As you might imagine, the transitions within the federal government and bureaucracy slowed down much of the work around applications to support consultations and conferences. Certainly this event is one of those. And although the funding remains in limbo at this time we are firmly committed to the importance of this conference as part of the social development work that is going on in Canada.
