Aug 14, 2009 News

Pro-Chancellor of the University of Guyana, Dr. Prem Misir, has been invited as Co-Chair and Presenter by the Global Organisation of People of Indian Origin (GOPIO International) at Session IV of the Diaspora Conference, to be held on August 22, 2009, at the Crowne Plaza La Guardia, in New York.
The overall theme of the convention is “People of Indian Origin: Strengthening Global Connections”. The focus will be on issues concerning human rights, political participation, economic trends and challenges, socio-cultural and Diaspora related issues and concerns, inter-generational issues, inter-ethnic relations, and opportunities for the future.
The theme for Session IV of the Diaspora Conference is “the Global Indian Diaspora: The Family Unit including Women and Inter-Generational Issues.”  The Convention seeks to address the importance of family being the centre of Indian culture and its persistence over centuries.
Because of globalisation and migration, the family unit will often undergo new and hitherto unknown forms of stress and transformation that affect the family members.
This Convention will address these issues in a broad context and to set the stage for a better and more harmonious future.
Dr. Prem Misir’s paper will focus on the status of Indians in the Caribbean and India in the Caribbean.
