Qatar Foundation: Glocalizing Education for a Sustainable Future, September 30, 1 PM ET | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Inspiration On September 9, we celebrated International Day to Protect Education from Attack. This year draws attention to more than 75 million 3 to18 year olds living in 35 crisis-affected countries and to their urgent need of educational support. In proclaiming the International Day to Protect Education from Attack to be celebrated for the first time in 2020, the message is to address the importance of safeguarding schools as places of protection and safety for students and educators and the need to keep education at the top of the public agenda.

learn the knowledge and skills they need for the future." -UN Secretary-General António Guterres | | | |  | “Never underestimate the power of a girl with a book.” "Real change, enduring change, happens one step at a time." “Women belong in all places where decisions are being made.” Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, advocate for equality and women's empowerment. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
