The Grassroots Institute has launched the “GLOBAL LECTURES | LOCAL IMPACTS”, a new initiative featuring which takes advantage of the expertise, knowledge, experience, and views of distinguished professors, scholars, experts, and activists for the benefit of a global audience including students, teachers, researchers, scholars, field practitioners, professionals and anyone who is interested. To read more about this initiative, please visit: https://www.grassrootsinstitute.ca/gli. Several senior professors will deliver their fascinating lectures in May and June, and in October-November 2022. 

Universities and colleges generally organize such lectures for their students, teachers, and researchers, to showcase research undertaken within various faculties of the institution. Occasionally external experts are invited as well. We propose a new and unique concept that allows “lecture pooling”, whereby multiple institutions can share the same virtual lecture simultaneously. This amplifies the reach of these valuable lectures to a wider audience across the world. Funding arrangements within The Grassroots Institute have allowed us to offer these lectures at no charge. Any Institution contributing 3 lectures will automatically become Co-organizer of those particular 3 lectures, alongside our Permanent Co-organizer, Nomomente Institute. A detailed sample page for a lecture can be seen by visiting:
