FRoM sCIC’s PResIDeNT AND eXeCUTIve DIReCToR SCIC has been making a world of difference again this past year, through our multi-faceted programming and growing partnerships . As a community, we have been able to engage the people of saskatchewan in meaningful dialogue and action towards a greater understanding of social justice issues, global citizenship, and effective international development .

This past year, our public engagement programming engaged 41,918 people across the province, and we partnered with 61 community groups and 39 member organizations . Through our communications activities we garnered 114 mainstream news stories, and our global education program distributed over 16,000 resources to teachers in the province . We were also thrilled to host another successful International Development Week, with 7 municipalities proclaiming IDW in their communities .

SCIC continues to receive strong support to carry out this work from our Provincial and Federal governments . This past year, the government of saskatchewan contributed $410,000 to the Matching Grants in Aid Program to support our member’s international development and emergency relief efforts . As a result, SCIC was able to fund 22 projects in 16 countries . SCIC also received $329,000 from the government of Canada through CIDA’s (former) Partnership with Canadians Branch, which enables us to build our member services, expand our communications initiatives, and carry out our public engagement work . Finally, this past year saskatchewan people donated over $7.6 million to our members doing international development work around the globe!

In addition to this work, SCIC has also been busy collaborating with our sister councils on a three-year project to develop tools, resources, and best-practices for public engagement in Canada . After two years of hard work, the interactive toolkit global Hive: Tools for engaging global Citizens is nearing completion, and will be launched in the fall of 2013 .

sCIC is grateful for the many volunteers that serve on our dedicated Board of Directors and committees, and for the tireless efforts of our staff and interns . Together we have been working to make a world of difference . Whether it’s workshops with high school students on the Millennium Development Goals, our Gathering of Global Minds discussions series, International Development Week activities, or volunteering with a member organization, saskatchewan people are engaged and active, and SCIC is proud to do our part .

sCIC gratefully acknowledges the organizations and individuals who supported our work financially in 2012-2013:

SCIC helps saskatchewan people act on their desire to make the world a better place. We do this by educating saskatchewan people about global issues like poverty, health, and human rights, by encouraging individuals to take meaningful action, and by disbursing funds to our members working on the ground to reduce global poverty and improve people’s lives .

sCIC would like to thank all those who served as board and staff members during 2012-2013:

MeMBeR seRvICesSCIC offered a number of capacity building, training, and networking opportunities for our members including: workshops on development effectiveness and the challenges and opportunities facing Canadian civil society; webinars on the Istanbul Principles, the implications of the federal aid budget, and Canadians perceptions of global poverty; Toolkit Workshop Series on fundraising, volunteer engagement, social media, burnout prevention, youth engagement, research and evaluation, and anti-oppression training through the Apathy into Action conference .

eNgAgINg CANADIANs As gloBAl CITIzeNssharing Best Practices in Public engagement through the Inter-Council Network (ICN)As a member of the ICN, SCIC wrapped up the second year of a three-year research project to gauge Canadians’ understanding of global issues and to identify and share good practices in public engagement . Using information gathered in year one through surveys and national polling, in year two each of the seven Councils convened a regional knowledge hub in a different thematic area where they developed tools and resources for effective public engagement on global issues . In year three, SCIC will continue working with our sister councils to release the culmination of our work in an online toolkit, Global Hive: Tools for Engaging Global Citizens, which will be launched at a national virtual conference taking place in the fall of 2013 .

The ICN is a coalition of the seven provincial and regional Councils for International Cooperation . The ICN provides a forum in which the Councils collaborate for improved effectiveness and identify common priorities for collective action . Together, our member-based Councils represent over 400 diverse organizations from across Canada committed to global social justice .

SCIC carries out a variety of public engagement events and activities to inspire and educate Saskatchewan people about global issues, and to provide citizens of all ages with the tools to engage in meaningful ways . Highlights from this year include:

gATHeRINg oF gloBAl MINDsLaunched this year, this discussion series brings people together in a lively format to hear a diversity of perspectives about development and social justice issues . Through short presentations and group discussions, we wade through the noise to try to gain a better understanding of interconnected global struggles . This year topics included: Buying a Better World: Is Ethical Consumerism the Answer?; Voluntourism: From Feel-Good Vacations to Sustainable Global Partnerships; and Canada’s Shifting Priorities: Aid in an Environment of Change .

HARvesT AND HUNgeR FooD seCURITY FoRUM In November, SCIC and numerous partner organizations brought together food

and sustainability experts for two days of information sharing, networking, and skills-building around local and global

food issues . Despite nasty blizzard conditions, the forum began with fearless energy as author and sustainable food champion Frances Moore Lappé set the tone with her inspiring keynote address . Through 12 knowledge and skills building workshops ranging in topic from global land grabs and corporate fair trade, to expanding

community food assets and urban beekeeping, participants walked away with new skills and

connections to build momentum for a more just and sustainable global food system .

DIAsPoRA CoNNeCTIoNs, ANTI-RACIsM, AND CoMMUNITY DIveRsITYThis year, SCIC undertook a variety of projects with new partners in order to build cross-cultural bridges around our shared human struggles . In the fall, we hosted Where the Heart Is: Sharing Stories of Home, a series of poetry and storytelling workshops that culminated in an evening performance of words and art from across the street and around the world . In March, SCIC also collaborated as a member of the Saskatchewan Anti-Racism Committee to host a panel discussion on the International Day for the Elimination of Racism titled Part of the Problem or Part of the Solution: Tools for Creating Equality in Saskatchewan .

Every February, SCIC and our members, partners, and supporters celebrate International Development Week . Collaborating to host numerous events and campaigns, we work together to highlight positive stories of change, and the role that we all play in creating a more just and peaceful world .

geNeRATINg MoMeNTUM YoUTH leADeRsHIP TRAININg CAMPFor the third year SCIC partnered with the Regina Public Interest Group to keep the momentum going! This energizing four-day leadership camp brought together young people from across the province to explore the interconnected societal and economic systems that shape, constrain, and help us, and to learn vital skills for making the change that youth want to see . This retreat-style camp continues to grow in popularity as young leaders committed to social justice build their networks and find inspiration in each other’s’ dedication .

WoRlDBeAT gloBAl eDUCATIoN PRogRAMThrough the WorldBeat Global Education Program, Saskatchewan teachers and students are provided with the tools and information to bring global issues into the classroom, and to inspire students to take active leadership roles in making positive change in their communities and around the globe .

This year 2,649 teachers and 1,479 students participated directly in global education activities and lessons throughout the province . Highlights included: 2 inspiring Global Classrooms profiled through videos spread far and wide during International Development Week; 5 energy-packed regional ACTIVATE Global Justice Youth Conferences held in Weyburn, Swift Current, Humboldt, Prince Albert, and Regina; 15 classroom workshops on the MDGs and other global issues; 46 global justice lesson plans developed and delivered; and 16,498 Millennium Development Goals Comics and other SCIC and member resources distributed .

The Millennium Development Goals Comic Series were again in high-demand throughout 2012/13 . But this year, teachers wanting to use the comic series to bring global issues in the classroom had an additional resource at their disposal in the form of an Activity Guide . This companion to the Comic Series saw huge distribution throughout 2012/13 . With the Activity Guide complete, Saskatchewan teachers can now better implement activities and lessons in their classrooms to teach these crucial issues .
