The member learning group cultivates and supports a collaborative educational environment for members of the Toronto Professional Chapter to increase knowledge in the areas of international development, the role of Canadians, and pro-development consumer choices. We engage members through workshops, discussions, presentations and the sharing of resources to build an awareness and understanding of human development issues. We empower members to make a difference in the alleviation of extreme poverty, and spur on action to promote human development.
Program Activities:
- Coordinating guest speakers for chapter education sessions
- Researching topics of interest and creating a workshop/presentation (i.e. fair trade, overseas volunteer case study, tied aid, agricultural subsidies, socially responsible investing)
- Arranging for EWB to present at various functions and events in Toronto
- Book club on development related books
The structure of the Member Learning program is a committee that undertakes projects to collectively grow the chapter program. The committee has three areas of focus: Workshop Creation and Facilitation, Development of Learning Materials, and Speaker Series.
