Welcome to SIANI Youth’s and SLU Global’s event “Planting a seed- growing an international career”!

Heads up all young professionals!

This event, on the 20th of April at SLU, focuses on the possibilities and the challenges with a global and green career for young professionals, concerning topics such as sustainable agriculture and natural resource management, rural development, food security and poverty reduction in low-income countries.  It will be an afternoon with inspiring speakers from relevant organizations, academy, municipalities and associations that are involved with these issues. To ensure interactivity at the event we will also host a World Café session, for students to connect with actors engaged with these international issues. It will be an excellent opportunity for young professionals to learn about ways of pursuing an international career. The event will end with entertaining African live music and light food.

We will very soon add a programme to this page, so make sure you follow our updates through Twitter, Facebook, Instagram.

Warm welcome!
