Description:
In the month of May we will be calling to action "dialoguing for change" in our local and global communities. In addition this online event will use intercultural dialogue on diversity to jump start further discussions on Child Labour in honour of the 10th anniversary of Convention 182 on Child Labour. Beyond dialoguing through words, participants in this call-to-action will have the opportunity to reflect on the Global Issue of Child Labour through art whether in the form of photos, drawings, sculptures, or painted group canvases---all participants are welcome to contribute digital copies of their art to our Global Gallery (www.tigweb.org/express/gallery) collection for this event!rnrnThis is event was made possible in partnership with the International Labour Organization.
