Local & Global Development: What Responsible Role for Higher Ed?

[Announcement from he-sl]

Friends, 

I'm excited to share that the initial evening conversation (4/15) at GSL5: Dignity and Justice in Global Service-Learning will take place between Jennifer Lentfer (How Matters, 1,000 Currents, one of Foreign Policy Magazine’s “100 Women to Follow on Twitter”) and Sara Sievers (Associate Dean at Notre Dame's School for Global Affairs, formerly of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, global policy advisor and researcher). The dialogue will be facilitated by Nora Pillard Reynolds (globalsl & Haverford College) & Rachel Tomas Morgan (The University of Notre Dame Center for Social Concerns). 

This promising plenary follows the opening keynote by Adam Russell Taylor, Lead of the Faith Initiative at the World Bank Group. Check out the full GSL 5 schedule here.

If you can’t make it to the Summit (sorry to miss you), there will be Global Service-Learning Institutes this summer on the West Coast (June, University of San Diego, San Diego) and East Coast (August, Haverford College, just outside Philadelphia). These are smaller, more intimate gatherings that provide space for course and program development.

Finally, you may be interested in the recently-released Community engagement, volunteering, and service-learning guidelines from the Forum on Education Abroad, which in my view represent an excellent step forward in such ethical guidelines.

Best wishes in your work, and if you have anything you'd like to share at the globalsl site here - https://compact.org/global-sl/ - please just send a note, 

Eric
