Ignite Change 2017
Invitation to Participate
August 21-25, 2017
on Treaty Six Territory
at Grant MacEwan University
Ignite Change is a global gathering for human rights defenders, protectors, promoters, facilitators… those with a concern about the current human rights climate we live within and are working to build peace and take action globally and locally.
Participants will examine how to address four key issues from a human rights lens: human trafficking, arms, drugs and hate. Global citizens need to amplify voices and perspectives on these issues and translate concerns into non-violent direct action.
Whether you are curious about human rights and need some direction or inspiration, an active human rights defender, or one with knowledge and experience to share, this gathering will provide an opportunity to network and build a deepened collective impact.
We are inviting all Rotary Clubs in the districts to sponsor an international student or delegate to attend this Global Gathering.
Outcomes of the conference will include a report of public policy recommendations on the issues at hand and a documentation of stories and ideas.
