SUMMARY:International Day of Education Symposium
DESCRIPTION:  \nEducation: A Human Right\, a Public Good\, and a Public Responsibility \nIn 2020\, as the COVID-19 pandemic spread across the globe\, a majority of countries announced the temporary closure of schools\, impacting more than 91% of students worldwide. As International Day of Education focuses global attention on this issue\, what actions can we take to improve outcomes for all? \nEven before the pandemic struck\, 258 million children and youth did not attend school; 617 million children and adolescents could not read or do basic math; less than 40% of girls in sub-Saharan Africa completed lower secondary school; and some four million children and youth refugees were out of school. \nThe United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) challenge all nations to “ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all” by the year 2030. Join us as we mark International Day of Education 2021 with local and international experts who will discuss how inclusive\, quality education will be critical in supporting our most vulnerable populations post-COVID\, in achieving gender equality\, in breaking the cycle of poverty\, and in securing a peaceful and prosperous future for everyone. \nLearners of all ages are invited to join and hear from the leaders who are shaping the future of education. \nASL interpreters and closed-captioning will be available. Thanks to St. Cloud State University Confucius Institute for providing this service. \nFeatured Speakers\n\nAudrey Azoulay\, Director General\, UNESCO\nDavid Edwards\, General Secretary\, Education International\nNeel Kashkari\, President and Chief Executive Officer\, Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis\nJustice Alan Page (retired)\, Founder/Chair\, Page Educational Foundation\nAtul Tandon\, CEO\, Opportunity International\nSondra Samuels\, President/CEO\, Northside Achievement Zone\nDr. Linda Darling-Hammond\, President of the California State Board of Education\, Head of Education Transition Team for President-elect Joe Biden\nJack Dangermond\, Founder and CEO\, Esri\n\nThank You to Sponsors\n\nGold Sponsors – Communicating for Agriculture Exchange Programs\, Hormel Foods Corporation\nSilver Sponsor – Atomic Data\n\nThank You to Program Partners\n\nWorld Affairs Councils of America\n\nThank you to promotional partners Citizens for Global Solutions; Education International; French American Chamber of Commerce\, Minnesota Chapter; Fulbright Association – Minnesota Chapter; High Tech Kids; Northside Achievement Zone; Opportunity International; Page Education Foundation; South Dakota World Affairs Council; TeamWomen; and UNESCO.

SUMMARY:The Future of US Policy in Afghanistan: Human Rights\, US Military Presence & Confronting the Taliban
DESCRIPTION:  \nA panel of experts to address advances in human rights\, the status of US military presence in the region\, and efforts to confront the Taliban \n\n\nJoin us on Monday\, January 25th for a discussion on the future of U.S. policy in Afghanistan\, featuring a diverse panel of experts: Associate Asia Director of Human Rights Watch (BRUSSELS) Patricia Gossman; The Islamic Republic of Afghanistan’s Deputy Minister of Interior Affairs Hosna Jalil; Postdoctoral Fellow at Stanford University’s Center for International Security and Cooperation Dr. Asfandyir Mir; Co-Director of Brookings’ Center for Security\, Strategy\, and Technology Michael O’Hanlon; and Associate Professor and Director of the Center for Governance and Markets at the University of Pittsburgh Jennifer Brick Murtazashvili (moderator). \n\n\n\n\n\nAs of November 2020\, U.S. military engagement in Afghanistan appears closer to an end\, with U.S. troop levels decreasing in line with the February 29\, 2020\, U.S.-Taliban agreement on the issues of counterterrorism and the withdrawal of U.S. and international troops. This conversation will address U.S. efforts to withdrawal troops\, build counterterrorism agreements\, while also working to help maintain Afghanistan’s political and major human rights achievements secured over the past decade. The discussion will consider how these efforts can be achieved despite the outsized role U.S. assistance plays in supporting the Afghan government and amidst the backdrop of a strengthened Taliban military position within the region.
