On 16th March 2011, the Slovak NGDO Platform will in cooperation with the United Nations Development Programme and the European Commission organize an event under the lecture series “Kapuscinski Lectures” with the title “How to reduce poverty- interventions/ aid that works”. The event will take place in the University Library in Bratislava at 11, Ventúrska Street. The lecture will be held by Professor David Hulme from the University of Manchester.
After the lecture there will be a moderated discussion with Prof. Hulme, national experts and decisions makers. There will be some accompanying events such as a movie presentation, a photo exhibition of SlovakAid projects and a presentation of volunteer projects.

The series “Kapuscinski Lectures” named in honour of Ryszard Kapuscinski, a Polish reporter and writer, who died in 2007. Kapuscinski, whose books were translated into many languages, was often named the “Third World Chronicler” or the “Voice of the Poor” for his famous reportages and books describing developing countries on all continents. The first round of “Kapuscinski Lectures” was organised in 2009 and 2010. More information on the Kapuscinski Lectures and schedule of the events.
