Professor Joav Toker participated in the first Cartooning Global Forum organized at the UNESCO headquarters in Paris last October under the patronage of the French Permanent Delegation at UNESCO. This event brought together journalists, political cartoonists, and other media professionals to discuss the active role of cartooning in society with the aim to promote peace, freedom of speech, equality and education, and produce recommendations for the Sustainable Development Goals 2030 (SDG 2010).

From current issues in the Middle East taught together by an Iranian historian and an Israelli journalist, to NGO management taught by the director of Human Rights Watch in France, every class was fascinating and taught by some of the most impressive people I could ever have imagined. I immediately felt at home in this small but active AGS community because, although students and professors are all from different parts of the world, everyone takes the time to understand each other's perspective. Overall, I would recommend AGS to anyone with a thirst for intellectual stimulation and a drive to not only understand the world of international relations, but engage in it..
