Dublin Learning Evening on the Injustice of Debt in the Global South
When?
Thursday May 22nd, 8pm
Where?
Teachers Club, 36 Parnell Square West, Dublin 1

Why not take this great opportunity to get up to speed on the injustice of the debt problem in the Global South?

This learning evening will provide participants with an improved understanding of the debt problem in the Global South, including a full update on the current situation and lots of ideas of what can be done from Ireland to tackle the problem. Discussion will focus on responsibilities in the debt crisis and the current focus of the global debt cancellation movement.

Resource people will include:

Lidy Nacpil, Co-ordinator, Jubilee South, leading debt cancellation activist from the Philippines who has co-ordinated the debt cancellation movement across the Global South for many years. Lidy will provide her unique insights into the challenges facing Southern activists working on the debt issue and outline what kind of solidarity Southern activists are calling for from the rich world.

Nessa Ní Chasaide, Co-ordinator, Debt and Development Coalition Ireland. Nessa will outline progress toward debt cancellation so far, the many remaining unresolved issues and Ireland’s role in tackling the problem.

It is hoped that after both sessions, participants will feel confident in discussing the debt problem with others and inspired to continue their involvement with the issue.
