The Ethics of Volunteering in International Development: Pathways for Justice-Driven Engagement

February 6, 2024, 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm

ONLINE EVENT

Canadians are passionate about contributing to a better world. But we often hear folks ask, “How do I decide which organization to support?” and “How do I know that my contributions are going to make a real difference?” If this resonates with you, then you'll want to join us on Tuesday for our panel discussion on the Ethics of Volunteering in International Development.

 

Join the British Columbia Council for International Cooperation (BCCIC) to explore the ethics of volunteering in international cooperation. During this free virtual event, an expert panel will share practical tips, advice and diverse insights on how Canadians can advance justice, equality, decolonization, feminism, and other values Canadians hold dear. We'll go beyond buzz words to critically assess our role in global justice, and provide insights that will help you assess opportunities to get involved in international development.

Join us to learn from:

- Chris Singelengele, Youth Development Specialist, VIDEA

- Catherine Lang, Volunteer, Canadian Women for Women in Afghanistan

- Andrea M. Vásquez Fernández, PhD Candidate, UBC
