Civil Society Learning Event 2021: Digital Advocacy & Inclusive Education

The pandemic closed the meeting rooms, but not the work. With in-person capacity building and social mobilisation on hold, PCE moved online to keep members sharp on the issues COVID-19 was rapidly reshaping. A two-day programme for representatives of 20 civil society organisations on Digital Advocacy in the Post-Covid Era covered the fundamentals of advocating online, the shape of education advocacy in a pandemic, and how to understand an audience well enough to create content that actually lands.

A second learning event, on Disability Awareness and Inclusive Education, brought members, partners, and other CSOs together to learn practical strategies for making education genuinely accessible. Through discussion, presentations, and interactive sessions, participants examined the many barriers that marginalised learners face and how to build environments that meet the needs of every student, leaving ready to advocate for inclusive education in their own communities.

Held alongside the 12th Annual Convention.
