International School for Development Justice launches on August 21, 2024
The International School for Development Justice, (ISDJ), located within The UWI’s Global Campus is the first global business school in the world dedicated solely to online graduate programmes that focus on leadership of the United Nations’ Sustainable Goals.
Funded by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and endorsed by the United Nations (UN), The UWI’s new International School for Development Justice (ISDJ) was established to respond to the need to educate and empower current and future activists and leaders within the framework of the 17 United Nations SDGs. The UWI is now the only University with such an enterprise.
Vice-Chancellor Professor Sir Hilary Beckles describes the Institute as “the largest and most transformative global project” ever undertaken by the regional University.
From January 2025 onwards, the complete suite will comprise over a dozen laddered asynchronous online graduate programmes, ranging from one-year Master’s degrees to shorter micro-credentials at the Certificate and Diploma levels.
The August 21 launch will include remarks from Professor Sir Hilary Beckles, other members of The UWI leadership team, partners of the ISDJ and The Honourable Mia Amor Mottley, Q.C., MP, Prime Minister, Republic of Barbados. Dr. the Hon. Nyan Gadsby-Dolly, Minister of Education, Republic of Trinidad and Tobago will deliver the Keynote Address.
The event is scheduled to be broadcast live via UWItv’s online platforms, www.uwitv.global, www.facebook.com/UWItv and Flow Cable TV Channels.
