Applying Education Diplomacy in Response to COVID-19
A free, independent study, online mini-course
Transform your capacity to lead during times of crisis
The COVID-19 pandemic has touched every part of the globe and has caused disruption in education on a level never seen before. It is estimated that 89% of the student population and nearly 63 million primary and secondary school teachers are out of school.
During a crisis, we need to rely on skills that help us to better understand the situation, our priorities, and each other. Education Diplomacy, a concept developed by Childhood Education International, can be a helpful approach to use at all times, as it encourages working together to resolve education challenges; it can be a particularly helpful and relevant approach to use during unsettled times.
This course has been designed to provide an overview of the key education diplomacy skills you can immediately use to navigate this difficult time and to help you find solutions to the education challenges you are currently facing.
