INDIGENOUS DEVELOPMENT CRITICAL FOR THE THIRD WORLD; APRIL CONGRESS IN COCHABAMBA, BOLIVIA TO SHARE IDEAS & RESULTS
(Cochabamba, Bolivia, January 22, 2013) UNITEPC University, in conjunction with alternative energy and recycling company ActEner Bolivia, announces the first bi-annual World Congress on Indigenous Development, slated for April 11-13, 2013, in Cochabamba, Bolivia. The primary location of the congress will be the Hotel Cochabamba, in the Recoleta district of that city.
“We are delighted to bring together outstanding leaders in indigenous development from around the world to share their expertise, especially in emerging technologies. By concentrating on medicine and the environment, we can disseminate the most useful tools to implement solutions as rapidly as possible,” said Dr. M.A. Hernán García Arce, Rector of UNITEPC.
“In many cases, we have the tools needed to improve lives today,” noted Ms. Elizabeth Espinoza, President of ActEner. “Putting them to use in a realistic fashion is another matter. We will be focusing on results, methodologies that we know are effective, but may not have received attention they deserve. This congress is about getting the word out.”
The congress will be held at the five-star Hotel Cochabamba, a state-of-the-art facility in the heart of Cochabamba’s Recoleta district. Hotel general manager Carlos Contreras Machicado said, “As a hotel that embraces the ‘Green Hospitality’ philosophy, we are honored to partner with the congress, and look forward to sharing our practices with attendees.”
The first bi-annual World Congress on Indigenous Development will be held from April 11-13, 2013. Speakers from Bolivia, Europe and the United States will lecture and lead workshops on emerging technologies impacting indigenous peoples worldwide regarding the environment, extraction industries, medicine and best practices in education and implementation.
