Abstract: This roundtable aims to bring together perspectives from different countries and foster an exchange of ideas on anthropological education and new audiences, featuring representatives from working groups and networks within WCAA member associations. We will seek to address a few key questions: What are the educational needs within your context, association, and country? Which experiences and strategies have been (or could be) developed in your contexts? What challenges are you facing, and what successes would you like to share with colleagues from other countries? In the final discussion, we warmly welcome contributions and insights from colleagues and members of other anthropological associations.
