The CALACS virtual forums use new technologies to mobilize and transfer knowledge on Latin American and the Caribbean and its diasporas in Canada by reaching out to the larger community of scholars, students, non-governmental and public policy sectors and diaspora communities through web-based media opportunities in a participatory and engaged fashion. These fora facilitate stronger links and professional collaboration between Canadian researchers and practitioners and their colleagues in Latin America and the Caribbean. This project is supported by CALACS and the Centre for Research on Latin America and the Caribbean at York University and is funded by Canada’s International Development Research Centre (IDRC).
