TOMODACHI Clinton Global Initiative University
The Clinton Global Initiative University is an annual conference where students from around the world convene at an American university to discuss prominent global issues, namely Education, Environment and Climate Change, Peace and Human Rights, Poverty Alleviation, and Public Health. Over the course of a weekend, the students attend special events and sessions led by guest speakers who are leaders in their respective fields. These sessions give the students opportunities to discuss world issues, develop practical skills, and devise plans to tackle global problems.
