<\/a><\/p>\nThe Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) in Europe is holding a free, online education forum on Tuesday, 5th<\/sup> May. The digital event will be an opportunity for decision-makers and leaders across industries to collaborate and find innovative solutions for making education accessible for all.<\/p>\n \u201cMillions of children never receive any schooling, in particular girls and children in conflict zones,\u201d said Maja Ahac, Head of Advocacy ADRA Europe. \u201cMore than two years of pandemic and war in Ukraine have worsened the situation for learners across Europe.\u201d In this context, the ADRA Education Summit aims at providing \u201ca platform for international and cross-cultural dialogue\u201d where leaders can catch \u201ca vision of excellence in education and equity for all children and young people across the world.\u201d<\/p>\n The summit will bring together experts in education, social innovators, investors, decision-makers, people from faith-based organisations and civil society organisations too. According to Ahac, cross-pollination is the secret sauce of the summit, encouraging the \u201cvisionary thinking needed to make education accessible for all.\u201d<\/p>\n Presenters and attendees will be tacking some complex questions such as: How resilient is our current education system to migrations and climate emergencies? How can we effectively address period poverty and the impact it has on girls\u2019 education? How can we help provide quality education in conflict affected areas? Presentations will include:<\/p>\n The First Education Summit<\/strong><\/p>\n On April 2021, ADRA Europe held its first Education Summit, \u201cEducation Accelerator\u201d. The event brought together leaders and experts from the private sector as well as non-profit. Humanitarian workers, journalists and researchers explored together the impact of quality education. \u201cWith 262 million children out of school, what is at stake is not just 262 million futures, but 262 million generations,\u201d ADRA leaders commented. According to the UNESCO Education for All Report, this is not an exaggeration, particularly in the case of girls. If all women completed secondary education, there would be 49% fewer child deaths, 64% fewer early marriages, and 59% fewer young pregnancies. This second summit is to ensure that the story of children lacking education will one day no longer need to be told.<\/p>\n\n
