Ethics in Policy: A G21 with the African Union | |
| |
Last month we launched our first ethics-based policy brief arguing why a permanent seat for the African Union in the G20 upholds fairness, respect, honesty and care. We have seen fantastic success and enthusiasm for the movement, and the brief has sparked conversations and debates with student groups, journalists and thinktanks across the world. Here's where our brief has popped up already: | |
A training in the International Labour Organisation, with Master’s students, roleplaying as countries at the negotiation table debating a G21 | | | |
A roundtable with African diaspora students in Washington DC, discussing the brief at the NAFSA leadership conference | | | |
