Dear Global Campus Alumni,
We hope this finds you well. Here is the latest update from the GCA, with upcoming events and opportunities from our global network:
Pre-registration is now open for the next edition of our annual Careers Orientation! Designed exclusively for GC alumni and students, this professional development initiative offers a structured series of free workshops on navigating the human rights job market, building effective CVs and cover letters, interview preparation, and networking. The programme features expert facilitators, including career coach and EMA alumna Niamh Walsh.
🗣️ If you would like to contribute as a facilitator or recommend a peer from the network, please reach out to us at info@globalcampusalumni.org
The new Global Campus Alumni Employment Survey provides insights into the professional trajectories of recent graduates from the GC’s regional master’s programmes in human rights and democratisation. Among respondents from the 2023–2025 cohorts, 81% reported ongoing professional engagement, including through employment, internships and traineeships. The report also highlights graduates’ growing demand for stronger career support, mentoring and networking opportunities.
The 7th edition of the GC Policy Observatory, funded by the European Commission, focuses on the research project ‘Protecting, promoting and enjoying academic freedom: trends, challenges and impacts from a human rights-based approach’. Led by GC Research Manager Dr. Chiara Altafin, the project features 8 policy analysts selected from our regional alumni networks. Join us this June and July for an extensive webinar series to hear our analysts present their findings, engage with regional experts, and propose policy recommendations.

This peer-recognition award honours a graduate whose work has made a genuine and demonstrable contribution to human rights and democracy in South East Europe. The alum will be invited to speak at the anniversary ceremony in Sarajevo (3–4 October 2026), feature in a long-form interview, and deliver a guest lecture to incoming students.
