What is Project Arizona?
In 2016, Liberty International conceptualized Project Arizona to provide a small group of selected students a chance to study, work with local freedom champions, and deepen their understanding of American history, culture, values, and effective ways of communicating these ideas to the world.
In 2024 Project Arizona will be back with its 8th edition at Phoenix, Arizona. This six-week intensive academic program explores the mechanisms of free market economy and foundations of the American political and constitutional system and is suitable for both students and graduates from all over the world.
For the 8th edition, all selected students will enjoy free access to the 38th edition of the Liberty International World Conference, which takes place in Texas US from 15 -18 November, 2024.
Participating students will enrich their learning through visits and volunteering in local organizations, which cater to a range of socio-economic needs.
Project Arizona 2024 will take place between October 26th – December 5th, 2024.
Described as a “program that any freedom lover should want to do at least once in a lifetime” by Jorge Galicia, a graduate from the 2019 class, Project Arizona inspires people from all over the world to consider the world in a new way, and return home with different and innovative ideas for their own countries. This edition will open admissions for a select group of 10 people from all over the world and will focus on 4 main branches: academic, volunteer, network, and cultural immersion.
Studying in small seminar groups with a specialist tutor, enables participants to study their subject in meaningful detail. Students attend daily lecture programs given by experts in the field and authors: the lecturers include Clint Bolick, Krystal Slavinski, Matthijs Tieleman, Alexey Gorbachev, Tom Jenney, Glenn Cripe, Kevin Flanagan as well as special invited guests and entrepreneurs who will enrich the students with practical experience and networking opportunities.

Organizers
The mission of Liberty International is to bring liberty to every corner of the world by engaging a thriving global network through conferences, camps, and curricula, in order to educate and instill within their constituents the spirit, motivation, and camaraderie to become change agents in their own countries as well as in the United States.
Liberty International was one of the very first liberty movement organizations to penetrate Eastern Europe, before and after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Because of its unique, compassionate messaging and ability to work within authoritarian regimes, Liberty International managed to ship books, pamphlets, and other publications into risky environments including Poland, Czechoslovakia and pre-reform China.
Freedom and Entrepreneurship Foundation is an independent non-profit organization whose aim is to create a new generation of leaders, entrepreneurs, and managers. FEF was established in September 2012 to provide students with new solutions in education.
Teaching in a spirit of individual freedom and responsibility is the core of our mission. But our new approach is not only about content; we aim to deliver knowledge and practical tools students can apply in their everyday lives. Thanks to the broad scholarship offer for the best graduates, we are helping them to advance their careers. By preparing them to become leaders and entrepreneurs, we want to make Poland, Europe, and the whole world a more free and business-friendly place.
