NEWS FROM MGIEP

Our colleagues from MGIEP need your help in promoting the following initiatives: Virtual roundtables on education (between August and November 2020): A series of focused group online dialogues with students (12-18 years old), parents and educators to solicit their feedback/opinion on the future of education. MGIEP wants to hear from students, teachers and parents around the world. In order to be considered to be a part of the roundtables, all they need to do is submit their application here. Details will be provided to them directly if their application is shortlisted. Launch of #KindnessMattersAgainstRacism Campaign: Through #KindnessMattersAgainstRacism, UNESCO MGIEP, the Global Youth Alliance for Kindness and partners are mobilizing global youths to creatively call out, challenge and act to end all forms of structural racism and its respective derivatives such as hate speech. MGIEP is inviting global youth to submit creative stories and discuss through live sessions, the what and how of systemic racism, which will then culminate in a high-level session on systemic racism at the Second World Youth Conference on Kindness to be held on October 24-25, 2020 and the International Day of Tolerance. Stories of Kindness Against Racism can be submitted here. Thank YOU!
