Poverty Studies Summer Institute 2023

The Poverty Studies Summer Institute is a unique study opportunity that brings together practitioners, students and community members into an intimate learning community to explore the causes and impacts of poverty and best practices in how to reduce and end it. The program consists of a variety of workshops and courses that provide both the knowledge and skill base to work effectively in the practice of poverty reduction. Courses may be eligible for credit for Ambrose University degree programs.

PROGRAM 2023: WHERE WE ALL BELONG

Creating an inclusive community is the first necessary step to ending poverty. Social exclusion is a root cause of poverty as social connections are a powerful resource to buffer people against life events. At the same time, those who experience poverty are also those typically excluded from the life of the community. This year, the Poverty Studies Summer Institute focuses on the theme of inclusion and its connection with poverty.

The 2023 Summer Institute runs from May 1 - 19. Residence accommodation is available if required.
