WUSC and SAID will be holding an informative discussion on Friday, November 16th at SCRI (Champlain College) from 2:00-4:00pm with PRET delegates.
During a Public Engagement Tour from November 5th-17th, four delegates from Sri Lanka, who are involved in the Project for Rehabilitation through Education and Training (PRET), will meet with a number of Canadian institutions and groups. The purpose of the visit is to engage Canadians on development work in Sri Lanka and share the experience of implementing vocational training programs in the context of post-tsunami and the on-going conflict. They will advocate for the importance of training women and men as a means of addressing poverty alleviation and economic empowerment in tsunami and conflict affected areas and discuss how communities have supported the training of women in non-traditional trades. At a same time, we hope to exchange best practices and learn from Canadian counterpart organizations and institutions and establish a partnership.
All are welcome to take part in this discussion.
