In this interactive information session, you will have the opportunity to:

  • Meet representatives from our central LIA project partners, learn about their work, and understand what makes each project unique.
  • Hear from past scholars who have previously completed these projects. Gain insight into their experiences and ask questions about the challenges they faced, the skills they developed, and the impact they made.
  • Ask questions directly to the partner teams and get tailored advice on selecting the project that best suits your interests and strengths.

Please note, this is not an introductory overview session—scholars are expected to come prepared, having already reviewed the available projects for 2025. During the session, after a brief introduction, you will be asked to choose a breakout room with our central project partners to dive deeper into the projects you are most interested in.

Featured Central LIA Project Partners:

  • Timothy Smith Network 
  • make_sense
  • The Kasiisi Project
  • Swara
  • SOS-Kinderdorf

📅 Date & Time: October 17, 6pm-7pm BST / 1pm-2pm EDT
