Amani Institute

Our name derives from the Swahili word for peace. The root word "aman" signifies peace or stability in every country in the arc from Morocco to Indonesia.

The Amani Institute Experience comprises three interlocking streams of activity: experiential learning through relevant field placements, professional skill-building to learn core practitioner skills, and a personal leadership journey which helps the student reflect on their own leadership path and integrate both field experience skill-building into a coherent whole picture.

From internship to apprenticeship: The typical internship is centered around a research outcome. It takes place over a shorter duration than is ideal for students to really be able to contribute to their host organization.

Our mission is to develop next-generation talent to address social challenges by creating a higher education model that offers future leaders opportunities to get an intensive experience of cross-boundary work, develop practical skills to build their professional toolkit, and understand the personal journey this work requires in order to be effective and sustainable as an individual over time. All this while simultaneously reducing the traditionally high cost of top-class global education.
