The workshop, facilitated by Clara M. Chu, Mortenson Distinguished Professor and Director of the Mortenson Center for International Library Programs, will be in English.

Participants will learn about working WITH communities on their needs and understand how this process supports libraries, information institutions and communities to advance the SDGs.

The Workshop will be an opportunity to reflect on traditional practices in libraries and new opportunities for libraries and information institutions to facilitate community dialogue and action of, by, and for the community that leads to social transformation. Examples of how communities in Latin America have re-imagined the library will be shared.
