Georgetown Global Dialogues Student Fellows Program
The Georgetown Global Dialogues (GGD) Student Fellows Program will bring eight Georgetown University undergraduates—four from the Hilltop Campus and Capitol Campus and four from Georgetown University in Qatar—to the Georgetown Global Dialogues to be held in Barcelona, Spain (November 4-6, 2025).
GGD, which launched in Washington, DC, in April 2024, is an international conversation about ways forward in a divided world that features leading thinkers from the Global South. Key themes include reimagining human fraternity and solidarity, advancing a global vision of human equality, and elevating the voices of youth around global challenges.
Program Details
During the fall 2025 semester, GGD student fellows will:
- Participate in three 60-minute Zoom dialogues with leading global thinkers (August-September).
- Write one essay for publication on the GGD Forum (September-October).
- Participate in the Georgetown Global Dialogues in Barcelona (November): Students will arrive in Barcelona on Sunday, November 2 and depart on Saturday, November 8. All costs (flights, lodging, ground transportation, and group meals) will be covered.
- Write a reflection on their experience in Barcelona.
