As part of our ICS placement we are all asked to hold one session to educate the team about a development issue that we feel particularly strongly towards... these are our structural learning sessions!

Beth kicked
off our structural learning sessions by talking about global inequality and trade
injustice. She spoke about how well managed trade has the possibility to bring
millions out of poverty but how there are many obstacles in the way. She
highlighted the ways in which we can get involved to help stop this issue and
injustice.

Claire chose to do her structural learning presentation about the second coming of Jesus Christ - she focused on the different signs that the Bible gives us.
