16 October, 15:00-16:30
Amnesty International’s Human Rights Education Network is pleased to invite you to the next webinar in the series on: Teachers in Gaza: Defending the Right to Education.
The webinar will highlight the devastation of the education system in Gaza and the human rights impact on teachers at the frontline of this crisis, who have been killed, injured, displaced and affected by the trauma of war. Education remains a fundamental human right during conflict and all parties need to respect international humanitarian law and international human rights law, and protect educational institutions, teachers, and students.
The event will have external and internal panelists who will share the experience of Palestinian teachers and present new research conducted by a team of academics from the University of Cambridge, in partnership with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), on the devastation of education in Gaza.
The event will offer simultaneous interpretation in Arabic, English, French, and Spanish, and is open to Amnesty’s staff, educators, activists, and external audiences.
