Abstract
Although we often think of international cooperation as the domain of large multinational organizations, there are plenty of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) scattered throughout British Columbia’s small cities and towns that do meaningful work on international issues. This research qualitatively analyzes the experiences of British Columbians working in global engagement within small communities. Lessons learned from community-based international cooperation strategies may inform future programming in BC and in other small cities across Canada. The results of the study will also support Canadian public engagement in international development.
