East & West Dialogue with Ron Kilius and Robin Mednick: Giving Gifts to the World

At East & West Dialogue, volunteer guest speakers from different cultural backgrounds come to East and West Learning Connections to share their living experiences, expertise, thoughts, and have a dialogue with our audience.

This month, we are very much honoured to be joined by two humble, but highly achieving Canadians who have big hearts for the world. Come to see how they have developed their overseas charitable work from Canada over many years, in a secular and apolitical way, and discuss how such acts of kindness, whether big or small, can easily be achieved!

Time: Saturday September 28, 2024 at 7:30-9 P.M. (Eastern Time)

Please RSVP to info@eawlc.org if you wish to participate in person, or register the online Zoom session.

Negotiation at Work

June 27, 2024
