We’re delighted to announce that Michela Ranieri from the Global Coalition to Protect Education from Attack (GCPEA) will be joining us at our online seminar on 9th September 12:30 – 14:00pm Irish Time No Battleground: Protecting Education from Attack, celebrating the International Day to Protect Education from Attack.
Michela will introduce the topic, explain what constitutes an attack on education, explore legal protections, and highlight international efforts to protect education.
The seminar will also feature breakout sessions, giving participants the opportunity to discuss specific sub-topics.
Established by the UN General Assembly to highlight the urgent need to safeguard education in conflict, the International Day to Protect Education from Attack takes on even greater importance in light of the global spike in attacks on education: Between 2022 and 2023 alone, the Global Coalition to Protect Education from Attack (GCPEA) recorded more than 6,000 attacks on students, teachers, and educational institutions—a 20% increase compared to previous years. And numbers from 2024 are expected to be higher.
Stay tuned for more details and speaker announcements and register today!
