Fully Funded AMENDS Conference At Oxford University

AMENDS is a collaborative student-led initiative interested in the promotion of understanding and respect around the Middle East, and the support of a generation of leaders who are working to ignite concrete social and economic development in the MENA region. Successful candidates will get a chance to present a 10-12 minute video talk about their initiative at AMENDS conference; attend a networking dinner; attend workshops and talks at the conference.

In the past, this has included a talk by Prince Moulay Hicham, a workshop on presenting by the Stanford Graduate School of Business, and a workshop on design thinking by the Stanford d.school.
