Annual Presentation for Sixth Form Students on ASIA
24th November 2011
The Brunei Gallery, SOAS
Thornhaugh Street, Russell Square, London WC1
The Royal Society for Asian Affairs and the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London would like to invite your School/College and in particular your sixth form students or equivalent to attend a day of talks about aspects of Asia on Thursday 24th November 2011.
The aim is to introduce students to subjects and concepts they may not have previously explored as part of their curriculum and, which will, we hope, inspire them. The conference is open to all in the 16-19 age-group, although students interested in pursuing geography, law, religion, international affairs, social sciences or Asian language pathways may find it particularly relevant.
The day will be chaired by Sir David John, Chairman of the R.S.A.A. and of the British Standards Institute Group. The day is free and lunch is provided.
We very much look forward to seeing you in November.
