Leveraging Higher Education Networks to Respond to Displacement: OSUN Case Studies
Friday, May 20, 2022
8:00 am – 9:30 am
EDT/GMT-4
Online Event
8 am New York l 2 pm Vienna
Over the past two years, the world has witnessed a number of crises that have resulted in forced displacement resulting in interrupted education for youth across educational levels. Networks of higher education institutions are well-positioned to support these youth in returning to formal learning, providing stability and hope in the face of profound trauma.
This panel of experts from across OSUN is part of UNESCO's
World Higher Education Conference
. It highlights the collaborative response to support youth displaced by the crises in Myanmar, Afghanistan, and Ukraine, as well as protracted crises which continue to need attention.
Panelists will grapple with three key questions: How can higher education institutions forge productive partnerships to address the post-secondary needs of youth affected by crises? What are the barriers and challenges of bringing youth affected by crises (back) into a higher education experience? Who are the key stakeholders with which higher education networks must liaise in order to open access to these youth?
Moderator
Jonathan Becker,
Vice Chancellor of the Open Society University Network
