Northumberland Learning Connection Spring 2024 Program

Migration: How Movement Changes the World. Since the day life appeared on this planet, it’s been on the move. Plants, animals, and ultimately people followed needed resources as climate, geography and man-made borders evolved — a pattern that continues to this day.  In our new inter-disciplinary series, we examine the impact on geopolitics, societies, public health, the environment and ourselves.

Our April 4 speaker, Globe & Mail international correspondent and author Doug Saunders, has spent the last eighteen months following the world's major migration pathways. Doug will share what he learned among people fleeing conflicts, failed states, economic troubles and climate change, and discuss policies that could make immigration more manageable.
