Learning Circle on the Great Lakes Region in Africa

We experimented with a different way to network and learn during a learning circle with members, partners and individuals working in the Great Lakes Region. 12 different organizations implementing programs in Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania and the Democratic Republic of Congo came together to explore issues of collaboration, how we choose our partners, and public engagement in Canada around our work.

Grace Rwanda co-hosted the event and hosted a delicious spread of Rwandan treats. We would like to continue hosting this learning ciricle so if you are interested please let me know at shams@bccic.ca. A summary of the discussion is available here (a BIG THANK YOU to Azita from CIDA for taking very comprehensive notes!). We may also consider a separate learning circle for our members with programs in South and Central America. Let us know if you are interested!
