Too many people around the world are deprived of education due to poverty, inequality, war, armed conflicts and terror. According to the UN, nearly one fifth of the global population of children is still out of school, and the ongoing pandemic adds even more challenges. More must be done to secure education for all.<\/p>\n
On 2 November 2020 Kabul University was attacked by terrorists, who killed 18 students and one staff member. One of the students cleaned up the glass shards from his room and wrote, \u201cNow I can go study again.\u201d But how does it feel to pursue your education under the shadow of terror? What can we do to foster hope for the future?<\/p>\n
In this online seminar, we will listen to the voices of students and educators from Kabul University, who will share their stories and their hopes for the future. In Sweden and the US, we gather students and educators to listen to the voices from Kabul and to share inspiration and knowledge with one another in a mutual exchange. The program is organized and live streamed by the Nobel Prize Museum. Welcome to sign up!<\/p>\n
