Innovative Solutions in Education
How can philanthropy apply lessons from the war in Ukraine and support education systems during and after a crisis and in conflict zones across the globe? Since the war began, over 2,600 schools have been damaged and some 5.3 million children face barriers preventing access to education (Source, UNICEF). This conversation will shed light on the current state of education in Ukraine and the potential for strategic partnerships and innovative programs that address educational challenges brought on by Russia’s war.
Join the conversation with our speakers:
- Anna Novosad, the Former Minister of Education and co-founder of SavEd, will share strategies for rebuilding the destroyed schools,
- Oksana, CEO of Teach for Ukraine, will speak on ways to support rural and frontline schools, and
- Katerina Manoff, founder of the US-based ENGin program, will discuss educational engagement between thousands of Americans and Ukrainians for online English conversations.
