The Global Diaspora Week (GDW) which this year runs from October 11 – 17, 2015, is a week dedicated to diaspora communities and their contributions to global development. GDW is intended to create awareness, enable collaboration and enhance learning amongst those working with diaspora communities in different locations around the world.

GDW enables an inclusive and focused series of events – events that are self-driven and self-organized by diaspora communities and other interested groups. With diaspora communities and organizations at the reins, GDW spotlights the organizations and initiatives themselves, the work they do and the issues that they feel are important. Anyone—individuals or organizations—can participate in Global Diaspora Week, whether hosting a formal conference or meet up at a coffee shop, attending an event, and everything in between.

GDW is held annually to create awareness, enable collaboration and enhance learning amongst those working with diaspora communities in different locations around the world.

The 2015 GDW will provide a platform to showcase exemplary initiatives in international development and diplomacy by diaspora communities around the world, highlight paths to success for diaspora engagement, and allow for collaboration between the public and private sectors and civil society.

For more information or if you would like to participate please visit www.diasporaalliance.org. The deadline for submission is September 18th, 2015.
