  • In Collaboration with CSTM/SCTM
    FEREN CON CE PROGRAM laboration with CSTM/ In col SCTM IC TM 2011 WE’RE PROUD TO WELCOME THE 41ST WORLD CONFERENCE OF ICTM to Memorial University and to St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador. This is a unique corner of Canada, the only part that was once an independent country and then the newest Canadian province (since 1949) but one of the oldest meeting points for natives and new- comers in North America. With four Aboriginal cultures (Inuit, Innu, Mi’kmaq, Métis); deep French, English, Irish, and Scottish roots; and a rapidly diversifying contemporary society, our citizens have shared a dramatic history, including a tsunami, an occupation during WWII, a fragile dependence on the sea including a cod moratorium in recent decades, a key role in the events of 9/11, and more recently, an oil boom. Its nickname – The Rock – tells a lot about its spectacular geography but also about its resilient culture. Traditional music and dance are key ingredients in life here, as we hope you will learn in the week ahead. Our meetings will take place at Memorial University, shown in the foreground of the photo below, and in the Arts & Culture Centre just to the west of the campus. To celebrate the conference themes in music itself, and to bring the public in contact with the remarkable range of scholars and musicians in our midst, we have organized the SOUNDshift Festival to run concurrently with the World Conference of ICTM. Five concerts, open to delegates and the general public, workshops by ICTM members and musicians featured on the concerts, and films are available as part of this festival.

MONEY (More Opportunities Not Experienced Yet) is a program intended to assist people in increasing their financial literacy, which was developed in 2010 by CSC though consultation with numerous other groups. The project is funded by the TD Financial Literacy Grants Fund which is founded by partners SEDI and TD Financial. The program is aimed at broadening the array and delivery methods of financial management information and services primarily to people who face economic disadvantages. Through collaboration with consumers, community groups, government and professionals, MONEY has identified existing services, gaps, barriers and successful practices relating to financial literacy in this province. Building on existing programs, MONEY hopes to aid in the uptake of financial information and services by training community-based trainers who will then offer information sessions and raise awareness among community groups, their clients and members of the public.
