Special Opportunity for Faculty You’re invited to International Development Week:  February 7-10, 2017 This year we are exploring the theme Developing the Worlds Youth: Innovations in Entrepreneurship and Employment. Bring your students to our photo exhibit and to participate in a series of interactive workshops and panel discussions! Here are three ways to participate in this special initiative:

1. Support the development of your student learning outcomes related to entrepreneurship by using our learning resources guide - http://idi.humber.ca/assets/files/IDW-Teaching-Resource-Guide-(Feb-3).pdf
2. Bring your students to the Gallery Exhibit to see the developing world through the eyes of today’s youth. The images and voices - from Humber’s Sulawesi Economic Development Strategy Project and Save the Children’s Youth in Action Program - weave together stories about the challenges and opportunities in earning an income in an economy that does not offer a direct path to employment. 9 a.m.-5 p.m. weekdays, L Space Gallery - Room L1002 & North Space LRC 1st Floor, Main Concourse http://bit.ly/2jQVjXx
