Announcing the UKFIET Conference Programme

Date: 13-17 September 2021.

The programme for the virtual UKFIET Conference is now available. There are six themes under the overarching theme of `Building Back Better in Education and Training: Reimagining, Reorienting and Redistributing` and there will be two themes running each day. All of the sessions will be recorded and made available to delegates for 30 days via the conference platform.

* NEW * Inclusive Education Training Guide from CBM

EENET has helped CBM to develop an inclusive education training guide – for CBM staff, partners and other NGOs – that is based around a set of frequently asked questions. Facilitators can use these questions to help them select topics and activities to suit their trainees’ needs and interests. The activities can be used to create anything from a one-hour discussion at a staff meeting to a one-week workshop.

The guide consists of 5 booklets:

Introduction

A: Inclusive education and CBM
B: Inclusive education and the community
C: Participation and achievement for all learners
D: Education system change.

Each booklet contains background information on each question, activities, handouts, and case studies.

Download the training guide as an accessible PDF.
