Dear Colleagues, The 2019 FIE Student Global Leadership Conference (SGLC) is an educational event and destination for undergraduate and graduate student leaders. The Student Global Leadership Conference (SGLC) Committee is seeking proposals for educational programmes and breakout sessions for the fourth SGLC in 2019. We are seeking a broad range of presenters who can provide rich exploration of the conference’s theme around Sustainability and Leadership. Sessions should be hands-on, interactive, passionate, and engaging and we would especially welcome the opportunity to hear unique stories and experiences! The conference will be held Friday 5th – Sunday 7th April, 2019 in London at The Royal Geographical Society (Friday) and Baden-Powell House (Saturday & Sunday). The conference is sponsored by FIE: Foundation for International Education. The theme of the conference is “Leadership for a Sustainable Future: It Starts with Us”: Great leaders are not just compelling in the present, but have foresight to account for and guide into an uncharted future. Emerging global leaders must think beyond short-term gains and build sustainable communities, policies, practices, and organizations, which support our planet, people, and global prosperity. FIE’s fourth Student Global Leadership Conference will challenge and empower leaders to find opportunities, make positive impacts, and pursue a leadership practice which considers holistic effectiveness, and in return, build a better tomorrow for everyone. Our actions in the present will lead us to a thriving future. It Starts With Us. We will consider seasoned student leadership specialists, leadership in sustainability, leadership scholars, and professionals with experience in sustainability or leadership. We would especially welcome the opportunity to hear unique stories and experiences as well as original research. We would also like to encourage current and former student leaders who may not yet have had an opportunity to present at a conference before. We especially welcome any presentations, which draw upon original research or papers. For students, this can include research conducted in conjunction with a faculty member or as part of academic requirements. These presentations will be highlighted in the conference programme. Proposals can be submitted online at: www.fie.org.uk/conferenceproposals Proposals will be accepted on a rolling basis. We aim to confirm all presenters by the end of January 2019 Main Conference Website: www.fie.org.uk/SGLC/ Conference Sponsorship Opportunities: www.fie.org.uk/conferencesponsorship Videos & Photos from Previous SGLCs: www.fie.org.uk/conferencephotos Kind regards, Student Global Leadership Conference Team [log in to unmask] ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the SUSTAINABLE-GLOBAL-CITIZENSHIP list, click the following link: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?SUBED1=SUSTAINABLE-GLOBAL-CITIZENSHIP&A=1
