International Development Week
What is International Development Week?
International Development Week (IDW) is an opportunity to explore how Canada and Canadians are making a difference around the world!
For 23 years, IDW has taken place during the first full week of February and you are invited to be part of the celebration. This year, IDW has taken place from February 3-9. Throughout the week you were encouraged to learn more about international development and share your experiences with friends, family, colleagues and your community.
What can you do during IDW?
The possibilities are endless — be creative!
