Have you traveled to learn from social movements in other countries? Are you interested in building long-term solidarity networks out of study abroad programs?
Do you have ideas for organizing former study abroad students to affect change both locally and globally? Do you want to talk about how social movements in the US could work more closely with the thousands of youth and students who study abroad every year?

If so join us in an interactive discussion around the project of building long-term solidarity networks out of study abroad programs. We are a collection of returned study abroad students organizing grassroots campaigns and projects connecting the issues we learned about and communities we lived with abroad to our home communities. We are looking for students and youth, organizers, participants from the global south, academics, older generation solidarity movement folks, alternative educators and others interested in sharing their experiences with us about how to build a US based solidarity network out of study abroad programs rooted in people's movements in the global south.

-This session will be in English though we can arrange for translation in Spanish and Thai.
