Scotland Malawi Partnership Consultation 29 April 2005

The Scotland Malawi Partnership, which was launched in April 2004 by the Lord Provosts of Glasgow and Edinburgh, aims to focus, coordinate, develop and extend the many existing links between the peoples of Scotland and Malawi and to foster and develop new links.

So that it may develop ways in which the many other Scottish groups with links to Malawi can inform one another about what they are doing, and network with one another, it is holding a consultation in Glasgow on Friday 29 April, timed to coincide with a visit to Scotland by Professor David Rubadiri, retiring Vice-Chancellor of the University of Malawi at Zomba. He will receive an Honorary Degree from the University of Strathclyde on Wednesday 4 May. 

Any group which has direct links with Malawi and is interested in being represented on 29 April should contact the organisers. (margaret.m.robertson@strath.ac.uk).  Further details of the event appear on our web-site bulletin board.
