AIESEP Connect is our Global Outreach Programme: a one-hour online session that creates space for members to engage critically with timely ideas connected to AIESEP’s mission. Session timing changes to support participation across the international community.
AIESEP is committed to an inclusive, equitable and respectful environment. The views shared by speakers, panellists and participants are their own and do not necessarily represent AIESEP’s policies or positions.
