Livestream Special Event: Young Leaders and the Future of Civic Engagement
Monday, March 27, 2023
10:00 am – 11:30 am
EDT/GMT-4
Online Event
10 AM New York l 3 PM Vienna
OSUN's Spring 2023 Civic Engagement and Social Action Course welcomes community members to an exciting livestream roundtable discussion with young changemakers. Our keynote speakers are all young people who have come through extreme circumstances to be agents of change. They advocate, inspire, and teach others about engagement and their voices are essential to our social evolution.
Panelists were nominated by students and colleagues from our partner institutions for this roundtable discussion on civic engagement from a younger perspective. They are
David Hogg
, co-founder, March for Our Lives;
Sana Mustafa
, CEO Asylum Access; and
Korvi Rakshand
, Founder and CEO, JAAGO Foundation.
Thrust into the world of activism by the largest school shooting in US history, Parkland survivor David Hogg has become one of the most compelling voices of his generation. His call to “get over politics and get something done” challenges Americans to stand up, speak out and work to elect morally just leaders, regardless of party affiliation. Passionate in his advocacy to end gun violence, Hogg’s mission of increasing voter participation, civic engagement and activism embraces a range of issues.
Sana Ali Mustafa, CEO, Asylum Access Sana Ali Mustafa, is a movement leader in the forced displacement sector and a feminist human rights activist fighting against systems of oppression in Syria and around the world. Mustafa's work has been informed by her experiences as a brown, queer, Arab, and forcibly displaced woman. After being forcibly displaced by the Assad regime, Sana led the establishment of global efforts for the representation and inclusion of forcibly displaced persons, such as the Global Refugee-led Network. Sana is currently Chief Executive Officer of Asylum Access, where she leads the organization’s work to dismantle decades of colonialism, fight for self-representation, and build intersectional coalitions to demand human rights for all forcibly displaced people.
Korvi Rakshand Founder and CEO, JAAGO Foundation Korvi Rakshand is a Bangladeshi social entrepreneur, who founded the JAAGO Foundation together with a group of young students. JAAGO began as a small room consisting of 17 children and a vision - to eliminate poverty through education. Korvi’s journey with JAAGO was one of constant struggle and dedication. Today, JAAGO Foundation supports the education of 4500 children across its 11 branches all over Bangladesh.
Spring 2023 Civic Engagement and Social Action is a globally engaged course that unites 100+ students and a dozen faculty from many institutions, including: Al-Quds Bard College of Arts and Sciences in East Jerusalem, American University of Afghanistan (AUAF), Ashesi University in Ghana, American University of Beirut, American University of Bulgaria, American University of Central Asia in Kyrgyzstan, Bard College Berlin, Brac University in Bangladesh, Central European University in Vienna, European Humanities University in Vilnius, Fulbright University of Vietnam, OSUN Refugee Learning Hubs in Kenya, Parami University in Myanmar, Tuskegee University, and UHelp/University of Quesquaya.
