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.

CIPPEC are excited to invite you to a virtual event, ‘Educational Perspectives for a Common Future’ on 23 June 2022 from 9:00 am to 11:00 am EDT (please check your time zone). The event is co-hosted by CIPPEC, Western University, and 2022 Indonesia T20 Task Force 5 on Inequality, Human Capital, and Well-being. It will be streamed in English and Spanish.

The event builds on CIPPEC’s 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.
