In April 2018, the UK will host the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) where leaders from all the member countries come together to address the shared global challenges we face.

Ahead of the CHOGM 2018, the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association's (CPA) The Parliamentarian magazine features a wide range of articles from Parliamentarians and Commonwealth organisations under the theme of 'Towards a Common Future'.

Commonwealth scholarships give talented students opportunities to study and live in another Commonwealth country and re-inforce Commonwealth governments' recognition of the transformative potential of higher education, international collaboration and student mobility for individuals and societies.

This is explored in an article on 'The power and potential of Commonwealth Scholarships' by Secretary General and CEO of the ACU, Dr Joanna Newman - you can access the article here or via the CPA website

We will be reporting on the work of the ACU and the outcomes of CHOGM during the week of 16-20 April 2018.
