IAJU Global Citizenship Fellows 2021-2022

The 2021-2022 IAJU Global Citizenship Fellows hailed from 19 Jesuit universities around the world. Fellows participated in monthly virtual discussions on themes concerning global citizenship, deepening their knowledge on a range of topics, including care for each other and our common home, economic and social rights, global governance and security, and more.

Over the course of the pilot year, fellows contributed written reflections on their experience, ending their fellowship year at the IAJU assembly in August 2022. Over several days, they had the opportunity to continue their dialogue in-person and to share their insights and experiences with other IAJU participants.
