#AIESEPConnect is the name of our AIESEP Global Outreach Programme.
It provides a space where members can critically engage with ‘hot’ topics that are linked to the core mission of AIESEP. It is a monthly engagement, a one-hour on-line session on the last Friday of each month. The timing of the session changes to ensure that we have global engagement in #AIESEPConnect sessions.
At AIESEP, we are deeply committed to fostering an inclusive, equitable, and diverse environment in alignment with our vision and mission. As an AIESEP family, we value creating a safe and supportive space where all individuals feel respected, heard, and valued. Our events are designed to encourage meaningful discussions that reflect a broad spectrum of perspectives. However, the views and opinions expressed by speakers, panelists, and participants are their own and do not necessarily represent the views, policies, or positions of AIESEP. While we do not endorse any specific opinions or statements shared during our events, we uphold principles of equity, diversity, and inclusion, and expect all discussions to be conducted with respect and professionalism.
