16 januari 2014 | INEE | Since its inception in 2000, INEE has held regular “global consultations” — network-wide activities held every 4-5 years at which members come together for joint review of the network’s mandate and vision. The last Global Consultation took place in April 2009 in Istanbul, with approximately 250 people in attendance. Starting in January 2014, INEE will undertake a year-long global consultation process to develop a network-wide vision of Education in Emergencies for 2015 and beyond. And we invite you to participate!
1. Why an INEE Global Consultation in 2014?
The world will have new global development goals from 2015. Regardless of how education is included in the new development goals, we will continue to ensure the right to education in crises and emergencies. To do that, the education in emergencies (EiE) community needs to develop a clear and consensus-driven vision for our work from 2015.
2. What will the 2014 Global Consultation achieve?
- A joint, pluralistic vision for achieving the right to education in crisis from 2015.
- A stronger, empowered membership.
- Higher visibility for education in emergencies.
- A network-wide strategic plan that incorporates local, national, and regional priorities and objectives.
3. What will the 2014 Global Consultation look like?
A. Online engagement
