The 30^th 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 30^th conference interdisciplinary and intercultural learning environment provides a setting to explore and exchange the nature of global change, development, and peace and security. Top nongovernmental, community, and national organizations will display their projects and products for your learning experience. The conference’s wide array of exhibitors and displays will allow you to explore international and local projects and exhibitors first hand.
