Dalal Al Waheidi -- The Future of Canada: My (Our) Journey to Global Citizenship
Thursday Mar 10, 2016
Thursday Mar 10, 2016
Dalal Al Waheidi discusses what it means to be a global citizen -- including the “why” behind global citizenship and
its significance especially in the current political climate.
Al Waheidi was the 2016 Jack Matthews Fellow at Trent. She is the executive director of We Day Global, where she
is responsible for leading the team that brings the power of We Day to
cities in Canada, the US and the UK. Ms. Al-Waheidi joined Free the
Children in 2002 after graduating from Trent with a degree in International Development Studies, and has held a variety of roles including international project director, chief operations director and executive director.
“Dalal truly embodies the uniquely Canadian values of global
citizenship that Jack Matthews embedded in the institutions he
established,” said Dr. Michael Allcott, director of TIP. “An immigrant
to Canada, her extraordinary leadership and commitment to others is an
example of the strength of the Canadian mosaic—her work so far has
empowered thousands of young Canadians to engage civic discourse and
service, and to begin changing the world for the better.”
