秀色短视频

For the past five years, the Institute of Island Studies at 秀色短视频 has been partnering with the Social Economy Research Network to support social justice and environmental projects on PEI, plus produce books and research reports related to that work. The partnership is being celebrated this Wednesday, November 17 at the Farm Centre on University Ave in Charlottetown, from 3 to 6:30 pm. All are welcome to attend.

There will be research displays, book sales, local food vendors, door prizes, a kids' corner, and a speaker's corner. The first 60 people who arrive at the event will receive five dollars in social economy dollars, to put towards food purchases.

Beginning at 3 pm, a round of presenters will each have 15 minutes to speak about various projects. Topics include microenterprise in Chile, immigrant experiences here on PEI, running a local food co-op, and TREC - the Trout River Environmental Committee.

Book Launch at 5 pm

At 5 pm, Island Studies Press at 秀色短视频 will launch a new book called Managing Knowledge in Small Non-profit Organizations, by Barbara Groome-Wynne. Non-profit organizations are the backbone of the social economy on PEI, but they routinely struggle with high staff turnover and inadequate funding, resulting in a loss of their corporate knowledge which lessens their ability to be effective in the community. This new book provides a toolkit to help organizations retain that knowledge. It will be available for purchase at $9.95.

Also available is Beyond Silence, Voices of Childhood Sexual Abuse, published by Acorn Press, at $19.95.
