This week the 2016 Aga Khan Foundation exhibition called "Together" visited two days the Newnham campus of Seneca College in Toronto. The small exhibition shows interested visitors on how we together can further build on a better and more just world. Seneca does two international development projects with the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN) in Kyrgyzstan and in Egypt. This was reason for the AKF team to stop by at Seneca with the exhibition.
The exhibition is set up in a truck which travel Canada from coast to coast with stops at community centers, schools and museums. It is an cool design on both the inside and the outside...
Seneca President David Agnew did get a short explanation and since he was the President of UNICEF Canada before he came to Seneca seven years ago, he has of course a sincere interest in this topic and he is a true supporter for the internationalization efforts at Seneca.
Outside of the truck the First Peoples Offices at Seneca had an event to celebrate indigenous learning and sharing. Good planning from our events and student services teams!
During the two days that the exhibition was at Seneca, two of the AKF staff members facilitated a two hour learning session with interested students. Good to see both sessions well attended.
The AKF can do this activity with the exhibition thanks to the financial support of the federal government of Canada through Global Affairs Canada. Thanks to the AKF team for stopping by at Seneca. It was great to have you with us. Please come again next year, OK?
