IDW Resources

IDW may only be one week of the year each February, but at MCIC we believe that acknowledging the role of Canadians in international cooperation and the importance of the SDGs should be a conversation all year long. We have compiled several great resources to educate and inspire Canadians of all ages on global issues and sustainability, perfect for IDW and thereafter. Check them out below!

IDW Student Reading Contest

Every February, we invite Manitoba students of all ages to submit the International Development related titles they've read recently for a chance to win a pizza party for their class! Stay tuned for details of our 2024 Student Reading Contest.

Our 2023 Reading List for Global Students features books for students from Kindergarten-Grade 12. We encourage all students to become global students by exploring the world through reading!

If you’re an educator, we hope that you share these books with your classroom to encourage students to become global citizens for life.
