Cambridge University Law Faculty
The conference is aimed to introduce participants to the exciting field of international development through a series of lectures from key-note speakers and a variety of supporting interactive workshops. The course is therefore suitable for participants from a range of disciplines and with variable experience within international development. The course is led by development practitioners and academics and covers a range of issues from human rights to career opportunities in the sector. In May, the conference also offers participants the chance to specialise through the workshops in specific aspects of International Development, including Education, Health, Environment and Law/Conflict.
Speakers include:
Dr Emma Mawdsley - 'The MDGs: five challenges'
Surya Subedi - UN Special Rapporteur for Human Rights in Cambodia
Giselle Weybrecht - consultant at the UN and author of The Sustainable MBA - The Manager's Guide to Green Business
Ian Linden - director of Faith Acts, who will be talking on 'World Religions: part of the problem or part of the solution?'.
Plus: a careers panel with three development practitioners who will give short presentations about their experiences in the field, followed by time for questions.
So come along and meet like-minded people - wherever your interests lie,
this is the event for you!
