WorldCanvass

WorldCanvass® invites you to join us for season twelve of International Programs’ unique, internationally focused discussions. Live programs take place from 5:30 - 7:00 p.m. and will be presented in a virtual format this season. The shows are free and open to the public.

If you would like to participate, you will simply need to register for each individual event to receive the Zoom link to the live program.

Joan Kjaer, director of communications and relations for UI International Programs, engages her guests from diverse disciplines in thoughtful conversation about questions and issues of global reach and personal impact.

The programs are recorded as audio podcasts and are available on iTunes, the Public Radio Exchange (PRX), and the International Programs website. They are also streamed live on Facebook. University of Iowa International Programs produces the series in partnership with MERGE. Audio production is provided by Kyle Marxen.
