Event Description
What do we need to know about global food security and poverty?
What are some of the solutions the international community should be pursuing and how can one person make a difference?
To mark World Food Day and the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, Food for All: A Conference on Poverty and Global Food Security will explore these questions and more. An exciting line-up of speakers will deliver short, engaging talks, followed by interactive workshops that link global poverty and food security issues with local concerns: the aim being to create a plan of action that can be carried forward to affect real change.
The daylong event for is geared towards youth 16-30, but anyone with an interest in food security and global poverty is encouraged to attend.
This will be a great networking opportunity and will also provide information for local and international volunteer opportunities. Space for table displays and volunteering placements still exist.
Please email vancouver.intern@amnesty.ca for more information.
The conference will be held on Saturday, October 15 at UBC.
Check-in begins at 8.30am at Hebb Theatre, 2045 East Mall V6T 1Z1.
