The World Bank Group Fragility, Conflict and Violence Forum 2016
Deep Dive Conference: The Role of Education in
Conflict Affected Contexts
Speakers:
Practitioners’ Discussion Panel
March 1, 3:10 pm-5:30 pm, J Building, B1-080
Conflict and violence across the world threatens
development and can reverse previously attained socioeconomic gains. In conflict contexts, education has a
role to play in the processes of stabilization,
peacebuilding and reconciliation – at the macro and
micro levels. This deep dive conference looks at
relevant education responses in conflict and postconflict settings, with a dialogue on education demands
and responses between practitioners involved in
programming and evaluation at the World Bank,
UNICEF, USAID, GPE and other institutions. The
latest findings from the Research Consortium on
Education and Peacebuilding will also be explored, on:
i) the integration of education into peace building
processes and peace building into education policy and
reform,
ii) the roles of teachers and teacher governance in
peace building, and
iii) the roles played by formal and non-formal
education for youth agency for peace building.
