The Future of International Solidarity: an open dialogue - Videos

On April 30, 2015, over a hundred supporters and activists from Ottawa-Gatineau and around the world joined Inter Pares for "The Future of International Solidarity: An open dialogue," at the Wabano Centre for Aboriginal Health in Ottawa.

The event featured four life-long activists: Pilar Trujillo from Project Counselling Service; Diana Bronson from Food Secure Canada; Aline Zongo, COPAGEN Country Representative; and Paul Sein Twa from the Karen Environmental and Social Action Network.
