Join us in Kendal on Tuesday 12th November for this talk by Joe Human.
This is the 40th anniversary year of Cumbria Development Education Centre (CDEC) and also the 40th anniversary of the ‘biblical’ Ethiopian Famine of 1984-85.

To mark both, Joe will revisit the famine in which he worked for Oxfam, in order to understand the complex causes of such disasters - social, economic, political and environmental. He will look at the global response to the famine and to its images; put the famine into context, and ask questions about population and food supply.
He will end by examining how climate change is already playing a part in famines and will play an increasing part in the famines of the future and ask what our responses should be.
The Eddington, 106a Highgate, Kendal LA9 4HE
