During the COVID-19 crisis, the first educational answers focused on minimizing the impact of confinement and school closures. Now, schools in many jurisdictions and countries are reopening, although questions linger about the safety of personnel and students, particularly with increasing community transmission of the virus.

From a pedagogical perspective, the pandemic is more than an interruption of “normality” that can be solved with new digital learning models, social distancing and hygiene measures. There is a collective challenge “to promote empathy and to encourage democratic forms of engagement and collaboration among citizens and governments from other regions of the world” (Estellés & Fischman, 2020).

A simultaneous translation service (English-French) will be offered.
