(An Interdisciplinary and Intercultural Conference)
Global Change: Development, Peace and Security

The 30th
Anniversary Third World Conference is the place for educators, professionals,
community and government leaders to explore the critical problems and practices
confronting development. The conference focuses on theoretical and practical
issues that LDC’s and Diaspora communities face. What is the focus of current
research? What are NGO’s doing to sustain and enhance local development
capacity? Are we going in the right directions, when and when not? What are
some of the practices and solutions in the developing world that can be learned
by the U.S., Canadian and European community based organizations and
individuals? We are seeking ideas, abstracts or proposals that integrate
experiences and lessons learned from those who are studying and implementing
projects and solutions with local community input and participation.
Our 30th conference interdisciplinary and intercultural learning environment provides a setting to explore and exchange the nature of global change, development, and peace and security.
