TODAY Tuesday 29th - Chilean student leader @SIPA

Hi all! (you are receiving this email because you are in the SIPA Education group contact list @ http://bit.ly/sipaed)

Sorry about the late notice, but I just got this information.

Giorgio Jackson, one of the key leaders of the recent student movement in Chile, will be today Tuesday 29th at SIPA. He was President of the Federación de Estudiantes de la Universidad Católica de Chile (FEUC) in 2011 (one of the main Chilean universities) and speaker for Confederación de Estudiantes de Chile (CONFECH).

WHEN: 7pm, Tuesday, November 29th
WHERE: SIPA, Room 801
The event will be in Spanish

It will be a roundtable, and he will be talking about the student movement and protests of this year in Chile. Since I am from Chile, I can tell you that these have been probably the most important protests since we got our democracy back in 1988.

SPACE IS LIMITED.

Best,
Pablo
