Join us on November 13 for an inspiring event that will delve into the vital connection between investing in higher education and advancing sustainable development. During this event, we will celebrate a remarkable 40-year journey of collaboration between Canada and the Aga Khan University (AKU), highlighting the transformative impact of education.
Canada and Canadians have played a vital role in the establishment, growth, and impact of AKU, contributing financial, technical, and intellectual support that has transformed countless lives. This program will gather Canadian leaders and thought partners to celebrate the partnership between Canada and AKU, while reflecting on the critical role of higher education institutions in advancing sustainable development in the Global South. Together, let’s witness how Canada’s and AKU’s shared commitment is building a brighter, more sustainable future where we all thrive together.
In addition, we invite you to explore “A Transformative Vision”, an exhibition that honours the vision and work of AKU’s founder and Chancellor, His Highness the Aga Khan, the dedication of the thousands of individuals who have helped turn that vision into reality, and the impact AKU has had on countless lives. Featuring rarely seen photography, video, artefacts and documents, new interviews with key figures, the exhibition captures AKU’s evolution from a single campus and hospital to the internationally recognized, continent-spanning institution of today. This exhibition will be open to event participants.
