What is IDW?

Move Your World
Held annually, IDW highlights and illustrates the work of Canada’s development community.

IDW provides a great opportunity for Canadians to:

  • increase the awareness of the role many Canadians play in international development;
  • learn more about life in developing countries; and
  • find out how they can become global citizens, actively involved in international development.

When is IDW taking place this year?

IDW will take place from Sunday, February 5 to Saturday, February 11, 2006.

Move your World … because you can

IDW activities are organized across the country by Canadian non-governmental organizations,
