Global Studies University (GSU) will participate in Creative Careers Days 2026, taking place from Saturday, February 7 to Monday, February 9, 2026, at the Jameel Arts Centre. GSU will be present throughout the event at Booth 4 (location map).

Creative Careers Days 2026, titled Art as a Voice: How Do You Use It?, brings together universities, cultural institutions, and creative practitioners to examine the role of artistic practice in expression, dialogue, and public engagement. At this year’s event, The Africa Institute, the first of GSU’s network of semi-independent institutes, will feature its language certifications, residential and non-residential fellowships, and community initiatives. Visitors are invited to connect with our team to learn more about these offerings and explore how creative practice, critical inquiry, and interdisciplinary study intersect. GSU’s other institutes focus on Asia, Europe, Oceania, and the Americas, forming a global network of academic and cultural engagement.

The event runs over three days. Saturday, February 7, and Sunday, February 8, are open to the public and include talks, workshops, portfolio and CV reviews, and professional development sessions. Monday, February 9, is dedicated to scheduled group visits by schools and universities, focusing on learning, application support, and career pathways in the arts, humanities, and social sciences.

Visitors are encouraged to meet GSU representatives at Booth 4 to discuss academic and creative opportunities and explore how programs and initiatives from The Africa Institute can support research, study, and community engagement.
