Invitation to GNLC COVID-19 webinar | 27 May: Strategies for educational, social and economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic

The UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL) cordially invites you to a webinar on strategies for educational, social and economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic
 
Many of the 173 UNESCO Global Network of Learning Cities (GNLC) members around the world have had to quickly adapt local educational provision due to the coronavirus. With numerous countries and cities around the world beginning to ease restrictions and gradually exit lockdowns, attention remains focused on containing the virus yet has simultaneously shifted towards what comes next. The COVID-19 crisis has taken a profound toll on education systems, economic markets and local communities; initiatives targeted at recovery are therefore crucial. This means both repairing the damage done and recalibrating cities so they can cope with the ‘new normal’ of living with COVID-19.
 
In order to exchange insights, practical approaches and good practices, members of the UNESCO GNLC are convening a webinar organized by UIL on Wednesday 27 May 2020 to engage with the major challenge of securing educational, social and economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. All education stakeholders, UNESCO GNLC member cities and non-members are invited to join the online event, share their experiences and learn from each other.
