The theme of this year’s CDC is "Bridging the Cultural Divides". It will feature Professor Irshad Manji as plenary speaker and presenter during the conference. Professor Manji is a nationally recognized author, speaker and founder of the Moral Courage Project, an award-winning initiative started in 2008 to help young people speak truth to power within their communities. “Moral courage” means doing the right thing in the face of your fears – a skill that empowers individuals to cooperate across differences.
