20 May, 16:00-17:00 BST
Dr Saida Affouneh, An-Najah National University, Palestine and We’am Hamdan, a 2nd year PhD student at the Faculty of Education, Cambridge University, will discuss education in Palestine before and during the genocide on Gaza, the increased violence by the occupation in Palestine, and the considerations for the future of education in Palestine, including aid cuts to UNRWA and its impact on education in Palestine and on Palestinians’ education who depend on UNRWA schools elsewhere. How do the speakers envision education in Gaza in the context of genocide? What role can technology play in shaping both current and future education? Considering the destruction of educational institutions and the loss of lives among educators, scholars, and students, what interventions can be implemented to support students in Gaza? How can we forge collaborations and use technology to help?
