On the Brink of 2015: a shift from Education for All to Learning for All - University of Ottawa
The University of Ottawa's School of International Development and Global Studies(EDIM-SIDGS) is hosting a conference and learning forum on education and development, 'On the Brink of 2015: a shift from Education for All to Learning for All', in collaboration with the Canadian Global Campaign for Education (CGCE) and CIDA.

-International and Canadian panellists from NGOs and civil society actors including the Hewlett Foundation, Plan International, Save the Children, World Vision, and others
