Date / Time: Thursday, September 30th, 12pm - 3.30pm GMT (including 30 minutes break for lunch)
This three hour workshop,
facilitated by Éilis Ryan, will provide Development Education practitioners with the knowledge and tools to build global solidarity by exploring the shared struggle for the right to housing in the Global North and the Global South.
Housing, once considered a public good in many European countries, has become one of the most important assets in global financial markets. In the Global North, this shift has had enormous impacts on the right to housing. Meanwhile, finance has left countries in the Global South with minimal hope of ever developing such systems.
Housing has become a focal point for those attempting to drive a racist explanation for housing inequality in Ireland. By focussing on the shared causes of housing inequality in Ireland and the Global South, this workshop will enable DE practitioners to provide a compelling counter-narrative which promotes solidarity amongst those who face housing exclusion, in Ireland and in the Global South.
Speakers include:
- Professor Michelle Norris, Director, Geary Institute for Public Policy, University College Dublin
- Professor Raquel Rolnik, Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism, University of São Paulo
- Rodrigo Fernandez,
Senior Researcher at the Centre for Research on Multinational Corporations (SOMO)
