About this event
The Royal Society for Asian Affairs and SOAS University of London would like to invite your school or college, and in particular your final year students, to attend a day of talks about several aspects of Asia.
The aim is to introduce students to subjects and concepts they may not have previously explored and which will, we hope, inspire them. The conference is open to all in the 16–19 age group. Those interested in pursuing geography, law, religion, international affairs, social sciences or Asian language pathways may find it particularly relevant. The day is free and lunch is provided.
