Peoples Diplomacy, Environmental Governance and Self-Determination Delegation

This delegation built on previous international delegations the IPTP has supported and will bring social leaders, educators, peace activists, and land defenders from Colombia to Robinson Huron Treaty Territory/Baawaating, Algoma University, Sault Ste Marie, Ontario. This delegation included significant learning opportunities for students, staff, faculty, and the broader community, as well as relationship-building and governance dialogues/exchanges involving local First Nations in the Robinson Huron Treaty Territory. There was an emphasis on women’s roles in peace-building, leadership as well as efforts that set out to address gendered and colonial violence in Canada, Colombia, and Bolivia.
