Sauvé Foundation Senior Fellow Brett House speaks to UN Experts Group Meeting on Sovereign Debt Restructuring
On Thursday 20 September, Sauvé Senior Fellow Brett House spoke to the UN Experts Group Meeting on Sovereign Debt Restructuring regarding options for the creation of a ‘Sovereign Debt Forum’.
Such a forum would provide an informal venue where stakeholders could identify lessons from past episodes of sovereign debt distress, maintain information on sovereign debt, and assist in facilitating more predictable, transparent and timely treatments of sovereign debt during future periods of economic turmoil. The proposal is outlined in a short note jointly prepared with Richard Gitlin; it builds on an earlier effort in 2003 with updates for present circumstances.
A sovereign debt forum may be seen as an end in itself, a facilitator for further refinement of existing contractual approaches to debt restructuring, or a building block toward an eventual statutory sovereign debt restructuring mechanism. In any event, a sovereign debt forum would fill an important gap by helping all constituencies in sovereign debt treatments reach agreement more efficiently and effectively. Canada could play a leading role in the creation of such a forum.
The Experts Group Meeting was convened at Marlborough House in London by the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA), the Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI) and the Commonwealth Secretariat.

New partnership with Concordia opens campus doors to young global leaders
By Tom Peacock NOW news and events, Concordia University
Earlier this week, Désirée McGraw, executive director of the Sauvé Scholars Foundation, introduced the 12 newest Sauvé Scholars to an assembled crowd of academics, board members and friends of the foundation.
The young leaders, chosen for their proven commitment to making the world a better place, will spend one year in the Sauvé House on Dr-Penfield Avenue, working on their own research projects, networking with their peers, and taking advantage of a host of academic programs and facilities made available to them.
Although McGill University is the academic home of the program, a new academic partnership with Concordia means the Scholars can now also receive mentoring from Concordia faculty members, audit courses, and take part in Graduate and Professional Skills (GradProSkills) seminars.
McGraw acknowledged Concordia’s new connection to the Sauvé Scholar program during her address. “We’re thrilled with the new MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) that’s been signed,” she said, adding that Concordia’s Interim Dean of Graduate Studies, Paula Wood-Adams, along with her counterpart at McGill, Martin Kreiswirth, played key roles in selecting the current cohort of scholars and pairing them up with faculty.
Wood-Adams says Concordia’s partnership came about as a result of former Concordia president Frederick Lowy’s involvement with the Sauvé Scholars Program. Lowy, who was elected to the Board of Directors of the Sauvé Scholars Foundation in 2008, suggested the partnership to McGraw, who then approached the university.
“We thought it was a great idea,” says Wood-Adams, who immediately set about housing the program partnership within the School of Graduate Studies. Some of the new scholars are already availing themselves of the opportunity to work with Concordia faculty members, who have agreed to serve as mentors. Read more

Apathy is Boring is a national, non-partisan, charitable organization that uses art and technology to educate youth about democracy. Founded in 2004, the organization's goals are to increase youth voter turnout, to increase youth engagement in the democratic process, and to build a sustainable dialogue between youth and elected officials. The Apathy is Boring team is spending the summer in residence at Sauvé House.
The health of Canada's democracy was obviously deeply important to Mme. Jeanne Sauvé, who served in turn as a Member of Parliament, Cabinet Minister, Speaker of the House of Commons, and Governor General. She believed that engaging young people was essential to the health of a society, a value reflected by the work of the Sauvé Foundation.
In fact, Apathy is Boring and the Sauvé Foundation have a long history of working together: As a 2003-2004 Sauvé Scholar, Paul Shore was one of Apathy is Boring's three co-founders. Having a youth-led social enterprise like Apathy is Boring in residence at Sauvé House is a reflection of Mme. Sauvé's lifelong belief in the importance of youth civic engagement. As part of their residency, the Apathy is Boring team will be sharing knowledge and ideas with the incoming cohort of Scholars. We look forward to many rewarding exchanges with our colleagues.
"We're thrilled to be in residence at Sauvé House. It's a great opportunity for Apathy is Boring to share our experience in the Canadian context with the Scholars, as well as to learn from the work they have been doing around the world."
- Ilona Dougherty, Co-Founder and Executive Director, Apathy is Boring

Jola Ajibade (2008-2009)'s critique of The Cancun Accord[s] is published on Sahara Reporters The Cancun Accord: A Manufacturing Of Disaster
"Some have hailed the Cancun Accord as a leap in the right direction. I do not subscribe to such position. The outcome of the UN Climate talks in Cancun, Mexico, November 29 to December 10, is completely disheartening. We expected an agreement that will be ambitious, binding and far reaching for emission reductions but what did we get? - Another extension of the Copenhagen loose talks on voluntary emissions with no penalty. The Cancun Accord to my mind is nothing short of a disaster in the making; it is the height of political immorality on the part of world governments. First, the fact the Accord did not lay a foundation for the continuation of the Kyoto Protocol or other new binding treaty for emission reduction foretells danger especially for countries like Tuvalu on the front lines of the climate crisis. The existing legally binding climate change treaty, the Kyoto Protocol, set mandatory targets which industrialized countries are supposed meet by 2012. But, many of these countries including Canada, US, Australia, and New Zealand, are yet to meet their respective targets while continuing to undermine processes that could ensure the continuity of Kyoto" More

Students and professors showcase ideas at TEDxMcGill
Speakers discuss multimedia technology, Nicaraguan schools, and a quest to save one million lives
By Trip Yang, McGill Tribune
One of the best-received talks was entrepreneur Amruth Bagali Ravindranath's presentation on creating multimedia technology that helps educators teach math, language, and social sciences to primary school students. Ravindranath reflected on his own childhood experiences as a bored student in the classroom when developing classroom learning tools that would put teachers at the centre of education.
"Can we do to interactive education content what bloggers did to writing?" asked Ravindranath. "Our programs democratize the process of creation, it lets you edit and improve upon others' educational animation and teaching tools in a way similar to Wikipedia. We see that by combining teachers with technology, we get adaptive education."

Sauvé Scholars Hope to Aid in Preserving Mohawk Culture
Sauvé Scholars Arcie Mallari (Philippines) and Anu George Canjanathoppil (India) were recently interviewed about this year's Sauvé Scholars' partnership with Survival School in Kahnawá:ke, a Mohawk community near Montreal.
Throughout the 2010-11 program year, the Sauvé Scholars plan to visit Survival School regularly in order to engage with students on a range of issues including cultural pride, sexual health, addiction, climate change, and community development. Through this process, the Scholars aim not only to enrich the lives of the students, but to learn about Mohawk culture, about the challenges facing the Kahnawá:ke Community, and about Aboriginal peoples in Canada more broadly.

Turning clicks into cash
Comtribute is the modern version of the spinning-straw-into-gold fairy tale
MONTREAL - Yaniv Rivlin is new-tech's version of Rumpelstiltskin. But instead of turning straw into gold, as did the character from the brothers Grimm fairy tale, Rivlin is turning clicks into cash.
Rivlin, who was born in Israel's Golan Heights, co-founded a company that will help non-profit companies reach new sources of funds that never previously existed.
While spending a year at McGill as a Sauvé Scholar -a program designed to develop the leadership potential of promising youth from around the world -Rivlin co-founded the company Comtribute, which allows charities to personalize search engines and toolbars with their brand.
Then, every time someone runs a search, an average of three cents is donated to the charity, from the online ad revenues of the participating search engines, Google, Bing and Yahoo. While it may not seem like much, if 1,000 people download the application and launch just two searches per day, that amounts to $14,000 for the organization over the span of a year.
Launched less than a month ago, the company now has 15 clients, including Make a Wish Canada and Canada World Youth. The service is free for non-profits, and Rivlin's company makes money by taking a 30-per-cent cut of online revenue from the search engines. [Montreal Gazette link no longer available]

Israeli Sauvé scholars grateful for ‘amazing’ year
By JANICE ARNOLD, Staff Reporter, The Canadian Jewish News
MONTREAL — The two Israeli Sauvé Scholars, Amnon Shefler and Yaniv Rivlin, who have endeared themselves to a wide spectrum of Montrealers during their nine-month sojourn here, threw a party to thank everyone who has helped make their stay memorable. ...Shefler and Rivlin were often invited to speak about Israel in different milieus. For example, they toured different Montreal area schools to talk about captured Israeli soldier Gilad Schalit and his dream of peace, using an illustrated book he wrote as a child entitled When the Fish and the Shark First Met.
“Amazing” is the word both of them repeatedly used to describe their time in Montreal. They are especially thankful for the warmth and hospitality that was extended to them by the Jewish community.

A trio of media personalities compete in time-limited discussion about four subjects picked from the news and representing the current concerns of Quebecers. The debates are lively, funny, sometimes serious and engaging, but always entertaining. Recorded in front of a live audience and broadcasted live, the game allows the spectators in the studio to encourage the guest they support. At home, the public plays a vital role by voting online or by phone for the person who best defended his point of view. The game lasts sixty minutes.

Writing in the National Post, Tomer Avital describes his Sauvé Scholar project:
‘Networking the gap’ is a series of workshops for journalists from conflict areas who cover non-war topics such as culture and education. ... Reporters will establish contacts which they will then draw upon when writing human-interest articles, thereby transforming the foreigner into a more rounded character - a neighbor. The program stems from the idea that journalists on either side of any conflict have the power to communicate on a mass scale, and a dialogue between them would help enhance durable peace.” Tomer Avital: Ignorance about the Middle East, even among bright Canadians
