International Symposium on Education, Fragility and Conflict: Programme and Workbook
It is our great pleasure to share with you the programme for The International Symposium on Education, Fragility and Conflict. This is a joint initiative of the University of Newcastle Australia, the Paris School of International Affairs (PSIA) at Sciences Po, and the Inter-agency Network for Education in Emergencies (INEE) Working Group on Education and Fragility, and is supported by a grant from the University of Newcastle Australia.
The symposium brings together academic research and practice in the area of education, fragility, and conflict, and will provide a platform for reciprocal learning, the exchange of ideas and knowledge-building in this crucial subfield of educational development. It aims to create and sustain strong bonds between the academic community and the practitioner community within international aid, through Paulo Freire’s notion of praxis, which involves reflecting critically and acting meaningfully on the world in order to change it.
