About IV SIEG

AFS national organizations in Latin America are organizing the Fourth Ibero-American Week of Global Education.

This 4-day virtual event will feature lectures, workshops, and training sessions for teachers in the region and all AFS members. It is scheduled to take place between November 13 and 16, 2023.

This edition will focus on the challenges facing education in 2023, seven years after the global assessment of the UN SDGs and in light of the use of emerging technologies in education.

Experts and educators, along with civil and voluntary organizations, will analyze and discuss the current scenario, marked by war, the return to the classroom, and prolonged uncertainty that affects educators and students around the world.

The conferences and workshops will promote education for cooperation and the development of active global citizenship as a fundamental pillar to achieve quality education. They will also aim to foster the development of essential competencies for a more sustainable, inclusive, and respectful world, embracing intercultural differences.

Event with free admission, prior registration required, limited spots

We extend a warm invitation to all those passionate about teaching, using technology in the classroom, fostering innovation, and promoting global citizenship. Join us by registering and actively participating in the events of the IV Ibero-American Week of Global Education.
