TEDxToronto | September 30, 2010 at Glenn Gould Studio | Ideas Worth Spreading
TED is a the Glenn Gould today. Sold out (of course!) You can sign up for updates when the feeds are posted.
I'm particularly interested in PLANINTERNATIONAL (as that's one of the nonprofits I support). Here's the speaker:
Amanda Sussman provides training on political activism to strengthen the ability of citizen’s groups to participate in shaping government policy. She has extensive experience working with a wide range of organizations including Human Rights Watch, the Canadian Council for International Cooperation, Amnesty International, the Food Security Policy Group, the Interagency Coalition on AIDS and Development, and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. She was senior policy advisor on human rights and refugee issues to the former Canadian Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration.
Recently, Amanda was a member of the Steering Committee for the Canadian G8/G20 Civil Society Campaign, which led a successful effort to garner 7.3 billion dollars from G8 countries to save the lives of women and children in the developing world. She is also a [senior advisor] to Plan International, Canada, one of the world’s largest international child-centered development organizations, without political or religious affiliations.
