Three days from now, our Glocal MA in International Development magazine launch, together with SID Israel and Nura Global Innovation Lab (formerly Pears Program for Global Innovation) will bring together people working at the intersection of technology and international development:

People building ventures.

People financing ideas.

People leading organizations.

People searching for partners.

People exploring new professional paths.

People challenging assumptions.

We'll welcome CEOs, entrepreneurs, development practitioners, investors, researchers, members of the Glocal community, alumni, students, lecturers, and professionals from across sectors.

Some will arrive with projects. Some with questions. Some with opportunities. Some with expertise.

The most valuable outcome may not be what happens on stage.

It may be the conversation that starts over coffee.

The unexpected introduction.

The partnership that wasn't planned.

The idea that becomes stronger because someone else sees its potential.

Technology creates possibilities.

Development creates impact.

But it is people who move both forward.

Because TOGETHER, WE OFTEN GO FURTHER THAN ANY OF US CAN GO ALONE.

Glocal is The Hebrew University of Jerusalem's unique program in International Development Studies, offering an MA and a PhD track (the only PhD track in International Development in Israel).
Each year, Glocal publishes its annual magazine: a semi-academic space where practitioners, researchers, and students write about the questions that matter most in the field, bridging the gap between theory and lived experience.

A few weeks ago, we shared the heartbreaking news of the passing of Fabian Bolugo, a beloved member of Glocal MA in International Development's family, devoted father, mentor, and change maker.
A crowdfunding initiative exists to support Fabian’s family during this difficult time.
Fabian dedicated his life to creating opportunities for others through education, mentorship, and community impact. His vision and commitment to empowerment were reflected in his work and in the article he contributed to the Glocal Annual Magazine, “Organic Agriculture as a Source of Economic and Educational Empowerment in Tanzania.” (available here: https://glocal.huji.ac.il/blog/organic-agriculture-source-economic-and-educational-empowerment-tanzania?ref_tid=12589).
Through his work with Kaima Tanzania and his support for young people and children in need, Fabian left a lasting impact on many lives.

If you would like to contribute, please use the QR code/link below. Every contribution, no matter the size, is deeply appreciated.
Thank you for helping us honor Fabian’s legacy with kindness, solidarity, and support for the family he loved so deeply.
