Queen’s Project on International Development
What Is QPID?
Queen's Project on International Development (QPID) is a student-run organization operating since 1990. We host a variety of initiatives on campus, in Kingston, in Canada and internationally, focused on raising development awareness, and getting people to think critically about development issues.
We hope to foster a development consciousness in the Queen’s community as a catalyst for local and global change.
