On August 22 and 23, students from the American University of Afghanistan, American University of Central Asia, American University of Beirut, Al Akhawayn University, Bard College Annandale, Bard College Berlin, and Central European University came together to connect with fellow Afghan students from across the world. The conference, held at the American University of Central Asia, was a time for students to discuss the ongoing challenges and find resources to support their ideas through creative problem-solving and peer support.
About 250+ Afghan students from the mentioned institutions gathered in a hybrid format, and 12 students presented their civic engagement projects that they are implementing to support students on their campuses or across the network, including those who remain in Afghanistan.
The Afghan Students Conference turned into a platform for students to coordinate cross-network activities to promote cooperation and ongoing connections.
