What are your plans this summer? Could they include professional and/or personal development?
The Poverty Studies Summer Institute is a chance to be part of an intimate learning community with peers – practitioners, people with lived experience, students and ministry workers – to learn about and discuss the causes and impacts of poverty as well as how we best alleviate and end them.
The institute will run 3 one-week intensive sessions between May 28–June 15, 2018.
Sessions being offered this year include:
- Working with Vulnerable Populations
- Collaborative Leadership for Social Change
- Intersections Between Poverty and Government Policy
- Human Rights and Poverty – offered as a one-day or three-day workshop
- Sociology of Poverty
- Sustainable Development Goals in Context
- Co-op Development for Poverty Reduction
- Community Development for Local Congregations
