The HESI+10 Global Forum, which will be held on 6 July 2022 as a virtual event in New York, will place a particular focus on deepening the understanding of the challenges and opportunities the higher education community can play in building back better from the COVID-19 while advancing the full implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, in line with the theme of HLPF in 2022.

Three open webinars will be held in the lead-up to the forum. The output of the webinars will feed into the discussions of the forum.

Webinar 1 – Transformation of higher education post COVID-19, April 27, from 9 – 10:30 a.m. Eastern

The disruptions that the COVID-19 pandemic has caused to societies, including in the education sector, is unprecedented. The webinar will explore how the pandemic has transformed higher education’s approaches to education and learning, its ability to reach and engage students, including challenges and inequalities for those that lack capacities for rapid digital transformations and online learning.
