Connecting scholars with schools, universities, and agencies

CIESEA encourages visits to educational institutions, professional exchange, and public engagement so that comparative and international education serves communities across Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, South Sudan, and the DRC.

Outreach sits alongside teaching and research: workshops for early-career researchers, roundtables with faculties of education, and special interest groups that keep members working with practitioners on the ground.
