23 June 2022: Educational Perspectives for a Common Future / Perspectivas educativas para un futuro común

Date: 23 June 2022 from 9:00 am to 11:00 am EDT / 15:00 – 17:00 CEST/Geneva

To meet the growing challenges of societies undergoing wide-sweeping transformations, education must be seen not merely as the sum of skills acquired, but as a broader societal endeavour towards human well-being that enables people to live meaningful and dignified lives. This webinar is organized by CIPPEC and Western University and can be watched live on YouTube.

The event builds on our ongoing work on education recovery and rebuilding in G20 country contexts. It is relevant to G20 countries in addressing local needs, and to G20 OECD Development Assistance Committee donors and G20 members in their inter- and intra-regional cooperation and support for Sustainable Development Goal 4 on quality education. The event contributes to T20 Indonesia engagement in view of the 2022 T20 and G20 Summits later this year, and is at an opportune time ahead of the global Transforming Education Pre-Summit.
