2020 has been a pivotal year in the world. The emergence of the global Covid-19 pandemic and the resulting economic impacts are affecting the ability of international development organizations in Alberta to carry out their missions. Within this crisis, heightened public calls to address gender and racial inequality, demands that we re-examine how we approach our work, and make the transformative changes needed to fulfill the UN Sustainable Development Goals at home and across the world. 

 

ACGC’s virtual conference, Unlearning and Relearning: International Development Beyond 2020 provides an opportunity for Alberta-based international aid organizations and practitioners to examine the critical issues we are facing as organizations committed to social justice and ending inequality in all its forms.  Specifically, the gathering will provide an opportunity to:

  • take stock of the state of the sector in Alberta;
  • share how our organizations and partners have been affected, and are coping with rising challenges, and;
  • transform the way we conceptualise and practise international development. 

 

Through exploring topics including the impacts of race and privilege, approaches to gender equality through an intersectional lens, and funding for international development, the event will help you respond to rising calls for transformation across the world and in Alberta.

 

Edmonton Shift Lab’s Anti-Racism Box

 

You can still get your hands on Edmonton Shift Lab’s Anti-Racism Box! You won’t receive it until after the conference but don’t miss out on this helpful tool that will help you overcome discomfort and grow your anti-racist skill sets. This box is a curated experience expected to increase the capacity for lasting individual behaviour change which will, in turn, lead to the personal and collective dismantling of systemic racism in our country and our communities. Register for the $15 Conference Admission + Anti Racism Box now!
