    Global Engagement Fellows Monthly Civic Engagement Workshops

    Online Event  This series of monthly workshops on every last Sunday of each month brings student leaders together from across GHEA21 to learn from each other’s experiences, reflect on each other's work, gain insight and training, and work together on gathering material helpful for new project leaders. By bringing the effective work of student leaders to light, this series provides them with the necessary assessments, knowledge, abilities, and skills needed to ensure sustainable projects.

    We will hold innovative discussions related to project management, recruitment, leadership and sustainability, while strengthening the connection between universities in the network. We will work closely with current student leaders to help them grow their initiatives while assisting new student leaders to lead civic engagement projects. The goal is to offer a step forward for today’s leaders so they can contribute more productively and effectively to their societies.
