Global Encounters Returns To Residential Camps In 2022
After a two-year hiatus, Global Encounters hopes to host in-person residential camps in 2022, to be held in Kenya in June and in India and Pakistan in December.
While Global Encounters (GE) Camps experienced a brief pause for all in-person activities due to Covid-19, the emergence of a virtual camp, CONNECT, continued the spirit of global connection within the Ismaili community through a virtual platform and will do so again this year.
As Covid vaccinations and testing becomes more accessible, GE Camps physically located at the Aga Khan Academy in Mombasa, will be reintroduced in June. Ismaili youth will experience the One Jamat ethos in person by interacting with their Ismaili peers from other parts of the world. They will also have the opportunity to see various AKDN projects in action, and learn about local communities.
