In Canada

Public Engagement
In Canada, FIDA undertakes a public engagement program that includes the publication of a quarterly newsletter, special fundraising events, public speaking presentations and Haiti Adventure Tours to engage the Canadian public in a meaningful discussion of international development. FIDA is constantly layering and adding to the depth of its public engagement program to create a dynamic, thoughtful means of engendering discussion how Canadians can appropriately and effectively respond to world crisis.

Our Public Engagement program centers around creating meaningful relationships, between Canada and Haiti, to introduce a concept of development to Canadians that is engaging and non-paternalistic. We believe that central to all development is the will to understand the context and people involved. As an agency, FIDA as been praised for upholding and demonstrating these principles throughout. Our Public Engagement efforts endeavor to foster respe (respect), for ourselves or for others whether at home or abroad.

If you are interested in a public presentation, or want more information about what we have available, please contact our Public Engagement program at (519) 886-9540 or email info@fida-pch.org
