The Summit

The Global Engagement Summit (GES) is a five-day training conference for students committed to global change. Delegates come together to understand the challenges of and opportunities for their engagement; to hone the skills and mindsets that will enable them to better plan, execute, and participate in change-based projects; and to connect with like-minded peers from around the world.

GES builds the capacity of its staff and participants to engage with new communities and partner in shared global problem solving. Through workshops, critical discussions, community building, and outcome resources, we ensure that our participants have the tools to move beyond their “good intentions” to produce real change. The components of capacity building include:

Knowledge Development  |  Skill Development  |  Approach and Framework Development  |  Resource Development  |  Community Development

The Media Team is conducting on-the-spot interviews with delegates and GES staff throughout the Summit. Photos and workshops don't tell the whole story; we hope these interviews give you a personal glimpse into the Summit.
