It will be run across three days, from 15 to 17 November, in three two-hour blocks.  You must be able to attend ALL THREE of these sessions to qualify for a place.

Register for webinar: ‘Language in the Early Years: How to Support Deaf Children in Developing Countries’.

Date: 22 November 2022.

Time: 11am UK time.

For deaf children, learning to communicate is their first and most immediate challenge, and they need support with this from the start in order to thrive. Limited language skills impact a young child’s ability to build relationships, share experiences and be ready for school.

An expert panel will share perspectives and approaches from Kenya, Ghana, India and Bangladesh which help develop a young deaf child’s language and communication skills. Delegates will have the opportunity to ask questions of our speakers as well as spend time sharing and learning from each other in break-out rooms.

Register your participation for this webinar on the website. 

They promote inclusive education and will support every person and group that is willing to create it.

See the website for more details. 

Date: 06 October 2022.

Time: 09:30-11:00 EST (14:30-16:00 BST and 15:30-17:00 CET).

Leonard Cheshire in partnership with FHI360 has organised a virtual roundtable event on Inclusive Education and Adolescent Girls to honour International Day of the Girl Child.

Judith Herbertson, Head of Girls’ Education at FCDO will be one of the key speakers, alongside Joanie Cohen Mitchell from USAID and Charlotte McClain-Nhlapo from the World Bank. The event will be moderated by one of Leonard Cheshire’s youth alumni, Maria Njeri.

More information about the event can be found on the FHI360 events page. 

Following the successful in-person UKFIET/Girls’ Education Challenge event in Oxford: ‘Realising SDG 4: What More Should Be Done for Girls’ Education?’ UKFIET would like to invite participants to some webinars that will add to the discussion.

UKFIET is very aware that not everyone was able to attend the in-person event and is keen to  gather as many reflections as possible on the four themes (Ambition, Gaps, Linkages and Actions) that were discussed in relation to girls’ education.

The output of both the in-person event and webinars will be a set of collectively agreed-upon priorities and next steps for each key area, due to be published in the autumn.

Register for Ambition Webinar.

Date: 28 September 2022.

Time: 11.00 – 12.00 BST.

Stakeholder groups tend to focus on different levels, types and degrees of ambition for girls’ education, leading to a lack of coherence. How can we strengthen alignment so that differences amongst actors can be used as a lever, as opposed to a barrier, for change?

Register for Gaps Webinar.

Date: 28 September 2022.

Time: 12.00 – 13.00 BST

How can stakeholders be more aligned regarding the conceptual, discursive and practical gaps surrounding girls’ education, so that there can be a coherent and collective approach to addressing gaps?

NextSense, in collaboration with the Raised Mathematics Project Round Table on Information Access for People with Print Disabilities, and ICEVI invite you to two online presentations.

The Raised Mathematics Project works on the automated conversion of mathematical content into accessible formats. The presentations will focus on common challenges involved in transcription, and progress made to date. They will make the case that semantically rich source files are needed to produce adequate tactile and audio-tactile forms of scientific materials.
