Today I was invited to speak about my experiences in Colombia last year at a meeting organized by CBIE (Canadian Bureau for International Education) and DFATD (Department of Foreign Affairs Trade & Development). They are hosting a number of leading educators from Chile, Peru and Mexico for one week in Canada visiting Montreal, Sudbury and Vancouver. Focus is on (responsible) mining and the need for increased and improved training & education in mining communities. The invitation was based on an earlier presentation I gave in Monterrey, Mexico, in October 2013 (see earlier blog post).
The various representatives explained about their efforts and institutions in Mexico, Peru and Chile and it was good to have also female presenters in the world of engineering which for so long was dominated by male professionals.....
