NUP Canada Chapter is delighted to invite you to join us for our 2nd NUP Canada Convention, an opportunity for our members and colleagues across the guideline world to network, connect and collaborate. We are excited to bring you a comprehensive, relevant and on-topic program delivered by many esteemed speakers including the president and experts.
Why Attend?
The convention will explore what people power politics means for citizens, communities, and government. We are living in an era in which grave and complex challenges at times seem to overwhelm the prospects for humanity’s survival. How will we ever garner the collective will to tackle climate change? Will we be able to control the risks of rapidly converging new technologies? Who can we trust to effectively steward our global natural resources so that there is something left for future generations?
Convention Aim
The convention aims to better understand the rising phenomenon of people power and the new explosion of democratic accountability that can be seen all around the world – with popular protests seen on Wall Street and Tahrir Square, in Moscow, Rome, Tunis, Beijing, Delhi, Istanbul and elsewhere.
Our Sessions
The convention sessions will consist of a series of plenary panel discussions to explore some big, cross-cutting issues, and parallel ‘deep-dive’ sessions. Both speakers and delegates will be engaged passionately in discussions that inspire a dynamic combination of debate, consensus, and intellectual inquiry. What does it mean to live in an era of global interconnectivity and engaged citizenship? How do we harness opportunities around mobilizing people power for positive change? How do we avoid the pitfalls?
The Convention aims to influence the global humanitarian agenda and explore current and future challenges affecting people and communities and the vulnerabilities that they face on the ground.
