Global Conversations sessions are 90-minute lively Zoom synchronous sessions in which students from several international partner institutions interact in a guided, facilitated manner on a list of global topics.  

Population growth, climate change, and the COVID-19 pandemic threaten the achievement of the second UN Sustainable Development Goal to “End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture” by the year 2030. In this global conversation, participants will discuss specific threats to food security in their local communities and strategies used to address these threats, as well as policies and practices that can be used to systematically address these challenges locally and globally. Through participation in this program, students will gain the skills for communicating with peers from multiple cultural backgrounds and global contexts.
