Business Professor Presents Project at CBIE 2022 Conference

Digital Business Management Program Coordinator and Professor Hanadi Alnawab and International Development Project Lead Clarisse Estebar presented Humber's EDC Kenya project at the Canadian Bureau for International Education (CBIE) 2022 Conference on November 16th.

The project titled "Experiential Learning Opportunities through International Development amidst the COVID-19 Pandemic" highlighted how Humber's International Development Institute (IDI) created experiential learning opportunities for students. This was done through a current international development initiative (Entrepreneurship + Digital Livelihoods + Creative Arts Socio-economic empowerment) of women refugees in Kenya. By engaging a multi-disciplinary group of students in the initiative, the IDI was able to fulfill the deliverables and create an international learning opportunity for the students amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. The session highlighted how students were given the opportunity to apply technical skills and enhance cross-cultural competencies through international development despite the challenges presented by the pandemic.
