This is the 5th year of hosting the IConGCED and the event will be held using an online platform in response to the current COVID-19 pandemic. Prior to the main event scheduled to be held on 3 ? 5 November, a Pre-Conference Webinar will take place on 23 September to lay the groundwork for key agendas that will be discussed at the main virtual conference.
 
The theme of the Pre-conference Webinar is ‘Challenges and Roles of GCED in Times of Pandemic’. The main goal is to examine the role of GCED in the pandemic era and reactivate global solidarity. Moreover, the latest knowledge, experience, and information to tackle the current pandemic crisis, such as transformative learning methods, will be shared during the webinar.
 
This webinar, which will begin with a keynote presentation by Ilan Kelman, Professor of Disaster and Health at the University of London, consists of a panel discussion on the experiences and visions of the educators, professors, youth, and civil society practitioners who are leading GCED.
