The right to education is a priority of many States, international institutions, and even private actors. But, what does this mean in actual practice? How does it apply in a world that is constantly changing, where climate and migration emergencies are fast rising, and where private actors are taking on a more prominent role?

On 24 October 2019, please join us for our next IIEP Strategic Debate on how to take the right to education seriously. We will look at the new Abidjan Principles, a milestone tool on the path to turn the right to education into practice, and its potential to address some of these crucial questions.

The presentation will be made by two experts who supported the drafting process, and are now working on the follow-up and implementation:

• Sylvain Aubry, from the Global Initiative for Economic, Social and Cultural Rights
• Delphine Dorsi from the Right to Education Initiative
• Hugues Moussy, from IIEP-UNESCO as the moderator.

They will focus on the right to education and how policy-makers and education planners can use the Abidjan Principles. This event will be held in English with simultaneous interpretation into French.
