Diverse, inclusive education ‘key to COVID-19 recovery’
On 26 November, as the sun rose on Thanksgiving 2020 in his home in New York, Ramu Damodaran, chief of the United Nations Academic Impact initiative and deputy director for partnership and public engagement at the United Nations Department of Public Information’s outreach division, prepared to address the launch of the 8th Asia-Europe Foundation (ASEF) Regional Conference (ARC8).
His audience of 28 education practitioners, researchers and students, drawn from 19 countries and representing 37 organisations, had logged on from a broad swathe of 16 time zones and from as far east as Tokyo.
This global community of practice was assembled by the leadership of the Asia-Europe Foundation’s Education Department in Singapore. This year, ASEF has merged what were up to now called the ASEF Rectors’ Conference and Students’ Forum (ARC).
