Through this series of events, which will feature panels, interactive workshops, and ample networking time, the Brookings Institution’s Center for Universal Education seeks to explore a shared question: What do young people need to thrive, and how can education ecosystems better support this?
The Global Symposium Series 2026 will convene diverse actors across North America (April, event already happened), Latin America, Asia, and Africa. These events build on the collaborative work of the Knowing Doing Network (KDN) and are co-hosted by An Giang University, the Center for Universal Education at Brookings, EducAid Sierra Leone, Educación para Compartir, Society for Access to Quality Education (SAQE), Vozes da Educação, and Ziziafrique.
