Intersections is finding a friend

What brings a whole bunch of people, from civil society, to join together on a wet Sunday afternoon, for four days in Pietermaritzburg? Intersections 09. Intersect what?

So what do I expect on this the Oxfam Australia Learning Event for 2009. I am looking forward to discussions on subjects in the development arena, specifically about empowering women in business related development opportunities. It is also a great opportunity to network with other organisations, see what they are up to and how they are solving the issues that challenge them each day.

I guess that is the intersections thing. Where two roads, people, ideas merge together, making a connection, solving a problem that would have remained alone, that through the intersection has now found a friend.
