2009 CGCE LEARNING FORUM

May 22, 2009 / Carleton University, Ottawa

The Canadian Global Campaign for Education (CGCE) is collaborating with the Canadian Society for the Study of Education (CSSE) to host a 1-day forum called Connecting Research and Practice in Our Work for Education for All.

The 2009 Learning Forum will focus on Governance and Education. We'll look at a broad range of governance issues from local schools to NGOs to donors and international financial institutions. We believe that good governance at all levels is a prerequisite for meeting the EFA goals and sustaining these gains for future generations.

The Forum is a pre-conference event of the Congress of Humanities and Social Sciences

Sign the Global Campaign for Education's BIG READ Petition

Global Action Week, our annual public mobilization campaign to press for Education for All, is April 20-26, 2009.

The theme for the 2009 Global Action Week is Literacy and we are advocating on behalf of the 75 million children and 774 million adults around the world who cannot realize their basic human right to an education or learn how to read.

The Global Campaign for Education and its national partners have produced a special life-changing book of short stories about literacy. The book includes stories by international authors including Nelson Mandela, Queen Rania of Jordan, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Paulo Coelho, Alice Walker, Devli Kumari, and Dakota Blue Richards, and Canadian authors like Wayson Choy, Elizabeth Hay, Frank Edwards, Jan Andrews, Eric Walters and more. Students will be reading from this book and signing a petition during GAW.
