EDD2016: come and meet the DEAR Pioneers

Dear community, 

this year, as part of the celebration of four decades of DE(AR) Programme and the research for its stories, protagonists and learnings, we are researching the pioneers of the Development Education and Awareness Raising projects.

We've discovered a few of these pioneers and invited them to be present at stand 22 of the EDD Village for a series of informal conversations about how were those first years - from the 70s untill today.

Every coffee break you will find with us the most interesting 'DEAR pioneers'- a rare privilege.

If you come to Brussels, do sit with us and listen, question, be amazed!
