Programme

Format of Conference

'Education, Empowerment and Development' will be the overall theme for the 30th IFUW Conference. This overall theme will be broken down into four conference themes that will be explored over the course of two days in plenary sessions, interdisciplinary seminars and workshops. Conference participants will have a choice of two themes on each day. The thematic days will open with a speaker or panel of speakers for each of that day's themes. This will be followed by three interdisciplinary seminars for each theme - two in English and one in Spanish. In the afternoon there will be five workshops (one in Spanish), which will provide an opportunity to examine the themes in a more interactive environment. Each day's activities will be summed in a plenary session for each theme.
