SDG 4 : Global and Regional Perspectives and Pathways toward 2030
HJI is pleased to co-host a special program with the Research Institute for the Integration of World Thought (RIIWT). We invite you to register for a presentation on the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 4 – Quality Education, entitled “SDG 4 : Global and Regional Perspectives and Pathways toward 2030″ to be held on December 16 at 7 PM ET.
SDG 4 articulates the United Nations’ commitment to “ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.” Countries around the world are grappling with serious challenges related to the education of future generations. The process known as “education for peace” aims at ensuring that existing knowledge is transmitted in ways that foster development free from destructive conflicts. Many countries, however, are also confronted with a lack of basic educational resources that represents a challenge in itself. Today’s presentation will focus on the situation of ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) and include recommendations towards development that is both desirable and sustainable.
Dr. Thomas Walsh, President of HJI, will host this event and Ambassador Mario L. de Leon Jr (ret) of the Philippines will be the presenter. Dr. Thomas Ward, Professor of Peace and Development Studies, HJI, will be the respondent and Dr. Claude Perrottet, president of RIIWT, will moderate the event.
This insightful program will conclude with a Q&A with the audience. We look forward to seeing you at this event!
