Schools2030 Global Forum 2023
We are delighted to once again host the Schools2030 Global Forum, in coordination with the Aga Khan Development Network, the Government of Portugal and the Municipality of Porto, in Porto, Portugal, from 5th to 7th June.
Similar to last year’s Global Forum in Tanzania, we will once again be convening over 200 education system stakeholders – representing teachers, school leaders, youth, civil society, international organisations, funders and government partners – to work together and reflect on the following question:
How might we foster more inclusive schools and pluralistic learning societies for all by 2030?
Over the course of three days, we will explore how Schools2030’s Three-Step Model – Assess, Innovate, Showcase – continues to drive improved equity and inclusion through school- and classroom-based holistic learning innovation, evidence generation and systems influence. Alongside the Schools2030 teams, leading partners in education and Forum participants, delegates will have the opportunity to share best practices, tackle challenging questions and work together to address some of the most pressing obstacles preventing the realisation of equitable, quality learning for all.
The Schools2030 Global Forum is an invitation-only event but the plenary sessions each day will be live streamed, please find these links below. All times are in Western European Standard Time.
