Education Diplomacy & Systems Leadership
Harnessing the power of diplomacy and leadership to transform education.
Education Diplomacy draws on the skills and practices of diplomacy to solve complex educational challenges through collective action. By building skills in Education Diplomacy, education stakeholders can increase their capacity to create strong and effective partnerships, take collective action to achieve collective impact, and navigate an ever more complex world.
Why Is Education Diplomacy Important?
By working together and taking collective action, we can achieve our shared education goals. Education Diplomacy empowers education stakeholders to:
- Navigate interconnections between education and other elements of sustainable development
- Work with growing numbers of diverse stakeholders to advance education
- Manage complex professional relationships
- Build and work in multi-stakeholder and cross-cultural partnerships
Education Diplomacy promotes and facilitates collective action to achieve positive change for children.
