Description

Not all international partnerships contribute to the empowerment of the people and communities on whose behalf they work to bring about social justice. Based on a thoughtful analysis of current theoretical approaches and the presenter’s experiences in international social work and missions, this audio conference workshop will explore ways to develop effective faith-based international partnerships that offer more than just aid, but also empowerment of the persons who live in these communities and nations.
