Symposium

In co-operation with the Soeterbeeck programme, we are organizing a Symposium on Wednesday March 16 as kickoff for RiMUN 2011. Central discussion point will be our changing moral standards and changing views on development aid. Through voices of the South, your view on development aid will be enlighted. This is a great opportunity to get acquainted with the general theme of RiMUN, and to continue from here your research.
More information on the Symposium will follow soon.
