Edinburgh Latin American Forum 2018
The Edinburgh Latin American Forum will be held at the University of Edinburgh. The Forum is an annual two-day conference where students, academics and professionals with an interest in Latin America come together, network and participate in presentations and panel sessions. This year’s line-up includes ambassadors, politicians, and professionals from international organisations such as CHIRAPAQ, ISUOG, and the United Nations. Most sessions are presented by three high-profile speakers with an expertise in the Latin American region, each approaching their topic with a specific focus: local, national or global. The overarching question of this year’s Forum will be: “Cooperation: a Sustainable Strategy for reducing Inequality in Latin America?”. To explore what an answer to such a question might look like, four diverse sessions will take place. Below is a brief outline of these sessions.
Day 1: Gender Inequality and Education
Session 1 – The link between gender equality, education, and their implications for the future of Latin America as a Region.
Session 2 – Working in different sectors of Development as a woman in Latin America: Personal Experiences and insights.
Day 2: Economic Inequality and Sustainable Energy
Session 3 – Corruption in relation to economic inequality and its effect on development in Latin America.
Session 4 – Renewable energy with a potential focus on collaboration in the region, progress made and what this means for Latin America and its economic inequality.
