Exciting Upcoming Term 1 Events!
Hello TJ Club members!!!
We are excited to announce two exclusive TJ Club events that
will be taking place before the end of this term!
1) Sudan: Lokuju Silfo is currently a student at Huron College here at Western. He will be sharing about his experience as a refugee from South Sudan. We will watch a short documentary together before we launch into an informal question and answer period with Lokuju. A unique opportunity to engage in valuable student-to-student dialogue and to gain insight into a first hand post-conflict experience of particular relevance given Sudan's recent North/South divide.

When? Thursday, November 22nd, 2012 @ 5:30
p.m.
Where? TBA (Keep an eye out for an email from us about this! We're waiting on a room confirmation from USC.)
2) Canada: Representatives from Atlohsa, a London-based
First Nations organization that seeks to provide support,
understanding, education, intervention and prevention to victims of family
violence, will be coming to talk to the TJ Club about the Canadian Truth and
Reconciliation Commission! We will listen to an interactive presentation by the
very knowledgeable Atlohsa reps, and launch into a discussion of questions such
as:
What is the TRC?
What are the states goals of the TRC and has the TRC met/is it on its way to meeting those goals?
How does the TRC balance truth and reconciliation?
How does the commission receive stories and is there ample opportunity for community members to have their stories heard?
What can be done to improve upon the TRC process? Do you recommend some other system other than the TRC that might be more effective in this type of role?
