International meeting «Recovery of Ukraine: Global Academic Solidarity»
The recovery and post-war transformation of Ukraine will be a complex and lasting process. The power of international solidarity we experience during the war should empower us in establishing a sustainable model for Ukraine’s development for the years to come. It requires commitments, partnerships and efforts from many local, national, and global players now. What is the role of human capital in the recovery? Can Ukraine become a global platform for innovations in establishing itself as a country with a vibrant social, economical, cultural, and political life? We invite you to join our panelists in discussing these complex issues during UCU Days.
- Human capital as an element of recovery. What human capital will Ukraine have in 1-5-10 years?
- Ukraine as a laboratory of social transformation
- A new social contract: How can representatives of education, business, government and international partners interact in a new way?
- Action learning: How to change education in Ukraine and how can our international partners support Ukraine now?
- What kind of solidarity is needed in Ukraine?
