Conference Report

Our seminar group has been working well together. Sarah, Scott, Justine and I have only met a couple of times, however, we have come up with some concrete plans and solid ideas. We feel that the best way for us to remain within the time frame, stay organized, and be concise is to use a PowerPoint Presentation. As a group, we realize that all students learn in different ways. Some people cannot retain information by just hearing it, so we believe that the added text will be beneficial to the class’ understanding of our topic. Also, to fully express the need for natural disaster aid, we are planning on beginning the presentation with a video / photo montage of catastrophe ravaged areas. This will be a powerful way to begin our report, and we hope will instantly grab the attention of the classmates.


In terms of content, we think that each of us will cover our respective topics. However, from working together, we have realized how essential it is for international cooperation in dealing with the aftermath of natural disasters. We hope too stress that no single organization could find a resolution, and that it is only through the unity of governments, NGOs, and charities that disaster torn areas have a chance at rehabilitation.


Overall, it has been a delight to work with Sarah, Scott and Justine. Every one of them is hard working, and we are all pulling our weight. I think that through a couple other group meetings, and finalizing some outstanding details, we will be able to produce an informative, and engaging presentation on humanitarian aid.
