Workshop
Sunday, September 28, 2025 – Sunday, July 26, 2026
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.

Applications are Open for Women, Peace and Security Program
Online Event Developed in collaboration with academics and professionals within and beyond GHEA21, the program is entirely student-led and designed to bring together individuals interested in rethinking the role of gender in conflict, peacebuilding, and global governance. As the 25th anniversary of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 approaches, the program encourages participants to critically examine why, despite decades of advocacy for women’s inclusion in peace processes, the global landscape of conflict continues to grow increasingly militarized and destructive — both to human life and to the environment.
Through a combination of case studies, policy analyses, and theoretical readings, participants engage deeply with feminist perspectives on security and diplomacy. The program will culminate in a Women, Peace, and Security Studies Conference, where participants will collaborate on drafting a policy resolution addressing the implementation gaps in Resolution 1325 and its subsequent amendments. All participants who complete the program will receive a Certificate of Completion from GHEA21. This is not an academic certificate.
