This panel will explore the impact of COVID-19 on children and education. UNESCO estimates that over 262.5 million children from pre-primary and secondary school are currently out of school because of COVID-19 closures, which translates to approximately 21.5% of the total population in Africa. For many poor and vulnerable children in Africa, schools are not only a place for learning but also a safe space from violence and exploitation. It is also where they have a nutritious meal (sometimes the only meal for the day).
The Panther Leadership Summit, hosted by the Office of Cross Cultural Leadership Development, is an opportunity for student leaders to engage in leadership training and professional development. UCIS hosts a cross-cultural simulation, BaFa BaFa, for students to better understand the influence of ingrained rules of culture and the difficulty of adapting to a new (foreign) culture.
Join a panel of individuals in Africa as they discuss how people in their country are reacting to life with COVID-19. We will learn from panelists in South Africa, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Morocco, and Kenya! Following the panel discussion there will be a question and answer session with the panelists.
